My next door neighbor had some health problems. She had to be off work for 2 or 3 weeks after a surgery. Between hospital bills, her house payment, car payment, utility bills, groceries and school expenses for her son, she lost her house. She worked 2 jobs to try to make ends meet. Her son got a job at a local store, probably to help make ends meet. Her elderly mother lives with them too.
They lost their house. It is vacant now because this family couldn't afford to make the payments with 2 people working 3 jobs and Grandma's social security. From what I observed, they lived a fairly modest lifestyle. They were good neighbors, worked hard and were still denied the "American Dream" and we miss them.
