This issue’s writing prompt: As America has struggled with the global market, so has Main Street. Explain how, if your job or Street Sense was not around, you would go about surviving America’s economic woes.


 

I side with feeling empathetic. Being around people who had been to college and have their degrees and success, I have investigated their feelings of euphoria about having this first job, making a bundle of money their first year and feeling independence from family. The idea of moving to a new location, putting hopes and dreams ahead of reality, betting a plan of family and future. Impulsive spending on luxuries and relationship. Only to lose it because of the situation of economies and resorting to reverse life and going back to basics. Basics, meaning asking for help from family and seeking help from family and possibly the government.
