I feel so sorry for the American people. Why and when are you guys ever going to avoid health insurance? There is a way out of this. Look towards other countries. Yes , we do actually exsit outside of America. I am so glad that I live in NZ
@@cathyt144 Kids don't naturally want gay parents. When you were a child, did you ever think to yourself: I'd like to have same-sex parents? Yes, or No.
Ok, you can say I’m judging but at this point I don’t care. That guy is lucky that he is getting some unemployment rather than nothing. His wife still has a job. Then he his shopping in the organic section and mad that he can’t get orange juice. Are you serious? Organic is a luxury as is any flavored beverage. I’m frankly tired of these people who really don’t know what struggling is. Yes, everyone has their “personal” struggle. But these people are far from it. Some of us.. not all of us need a wake up call. At this point EVERYONE needs to be eating rice and beans and drinking water from the tap. Any extra crap can wait until things get better. After this event hope ya’ll start that emergency fund that again EVERYONE should have had. Whatever, I’m taking to air at this point. People will be the same after this is over. Not caring about tomorrow or preparing for the unknowns. I’m sorry for those who are truly suffering. These people are not.
i agree 100%. i have always had an emergency fund of 6 months of living expenses and 6 months worth of food at home. i am decently wealthy now, but i had those preparations at age 19 when i was making minimum wage.
Have you ever thought that this man may have a bookkeeper, or other employees, maintenence, and has already put thousands of dollars on product for his store already, that he cannot return. He has a house note, along with car note,child care bills, that he has to pay monthly, whether or not the children go. He has to pay the monthly childcare fee to keep their place. He has savings......I'm sure, but for his family, give the man some slack!,
@@wesleycorlynda8371 that's a failed business though... If your business is thriving you are making a profit, not a deficit. Maybe his business never took off then?
Pawn some items from that million dollar house...or sell one of the 3 cars you have. You aren't hurting until you have NOTHING. Stop interviewing rich people who live in california.
Exactly! Not a good nor accurate of the true victims in all this, there are people that literally have NOTHING... No asset's, no income, no relief in sight..
Tell me about it! I'm selling everything and the kitchen sink just to get by and have some money when this is all over to get the hell out of America lol
I thought the same thing: living in the Bay Area and still shopping in the organic section. I mean if you can still shop organically and live in one of the most expensive areas in the US, you cannot call yourself struggling ore “just scraping by”.
450 per month for grocery? Hmm ask them to look for videos of how household of 5-8 ppl able to feed themselves with $300. Can get tips from there. Need lifestyle change.
Yen - if you are only spending 300 a month on groceries and there is more than 2 people living in your house, then you are starving and your refrigerator and cabinets are always bare looking👀..the only way you cN get away with that is if you already have about 2-6 months of food already stocked up
@ Me, that’s who yeah... probably that family has some extra food in their pantry to add on... maybe they use coupons to get more things at lower price or they just eat really small portions.
How is he getting $450/month lease when payments are made weekly and $600/week is added to their normal weekly amount approved from the CARES relief fund. This is more than most of these people make while working.
First off, you're shopping for vegetables in the organic section and complaining you can't afford juice. Then you buy your kids lemonade which is 80% pure sugar. You can get 100% juice concentrate for half the price. Better yet. Drink water. It's better for your kids. And ok. She still has income & he's home on unemployment but you don't have to pay child care right now or gas to get to & from work. Learn how to manage your money.
@@MrSurfsagger If you do the math, they lost approximately $800 a month because of his unemployment. With a family that size, that's likely their food bill. And daycare expenses are about $200-$300 a week for their youngest. Seems to me, they would be breaking even. So they obviously were struggling before this happened. Based on what I saw, they overspend on groceries alone. So it comes down to poor money management.
You know people, like 5 months ago i was about to get a new car but change my mind and got a new phone instead and now I'm glad that i got the phone and not the car😐
You have to realize thats stuff they bought before when they had work and money coming in. He lost his job, which means his income has stopped. So before yea he could afford it, now he cant, very easy to understand. Im sure you have some nice stuff too, if you lost all income does that mean you lose the nice things you already owned?? Think a little.
I was thinking the same too when I saw all the Apple products. There is clear mismanagement of money here: they have lots of nice things but much of the $ spent on all that excess could've been put in a rainy day emergency fund. Not trying to prey on people's misfortunes but I think this is a hard lesson for all of us to really think of our priorities
car loan insurance , internet, cellphone, food (no ebt) . Your savings run out And not income This people are worried how many months you cant afford . Nobody knows when they can go back to work. And the rent or mortgage they only approve April to pay latter. No may so we have to pay the rent for the rest of year . And those people have to pay the business rent. imagine you cant losse everything becose if cant pay usually the land lord keeps wherever is in the local
Gadzooks Hardy The planet is overheating and overpopulated and you think it's a good idea for people to still breed like flies? You need to raise your IQ.
Violet2816 you are right. People in the project will not be appealing for a story line. Being broke is nothing new to them. Let’s interview the fortunate
Wow so judgmental! I made good money before I was laid off and now I am living off of a tiny pension and have $30 to my name until next Friday! You don't know their situation
@@annetteslife People love to criticize and judge others till it happens to them! Should've, could've, would've is what you hear all these people putting others down while they're down... its sad that they can't see past someone's outer shell! Sure they may have nice homes and cars, but they don't know what their situation was before all this happened. Some already exhausted their savings or their emergency funds...everyone's situation is different and complex! This is not the time to judge or put anyone down...
Because the story is “look at people struggling because of COVID”, not “look at people struggling”. Those stories are not told enough, I agree, but if you look around RUclips you could find plenty. Also, as a side note: all people are real people.
If i understood correctly, the guy who is the hair salon owner is adopting the 4 kids with his husband or male partner. They obviously could afford the kids based upon their incomes before the pandemic. They took it in their hearts to open their home to children whose bio parents either died or didn't want to take care of them.
This virus has put so many of us in hard times. It's so hard every day my husband also got laid off and I have 3 kids. But i Make the best of it and do what i can do. But its definatly hard. Cant wait till its over🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😥😥😥😥😥
We have a challenging road ahead. We must be realistic, strategic, yet hopeful at the same time. Once things open up, it will not automatically go back 100% to what it was like before...it could take months, even over a year. My biggest fear (and even realization) is many Americans whose jobs were furloughed will either not have a job to return to...or they will face salary cuts. Companies have lost too much $ being closed.
These events will morph into other things but can't-wait-until-its-over is not going to happen. In one form or another this virus is with us as certain as the skin covering our bones.
Didnt need to “buy” lemonade...time to start learning how to “make” things again. You’d be surprise how you can make things stretch when you make it yourself.
@@alvinmedina7121 Well he must need something or else he would not have agreed 2 be interviewed. In the court of public opinion he may very well want sympathy. Who can say. And if u can't cook a lick then don't have a house full of kids.
This times hopefully teaches us all, to live within our means. Save and stop consumerism. And think about how many children you really could afford if you or the two of you end up without a job...... Let's stop taking life for granted....
discorperted at the end of the day though you can only blame other people so much for the choices you made in regard to the resources you were given. People had jobs before this but for some, instead of prioritizing saving for a rainy day they spent everything they made. Not disputing the problem right now in the country due to the corona virus but people do need to take some personal accountability for their actions that led them to this position.

@@xktwnxl4zlx213 Okay paul justify the stupidity of having four children when you can only provide for them for less than a month? If you cant get your kids a frozen box of eggos, you shouldnt be having taking on the responsibility of children.
I grew up poor. My family was always broke and struggling for our next meal. I remember bringing home dirty toys from the junk yard or wearing dirty shoes someone had lost on the road. If I wanted for anything, I had to find a way to earn the money. I had my first job at age 9 and once I learned I could provide for myself, I never looked back. Today I am grateful for those hard knock lessons of going without, surviving on very little and being grateful for the little things. I have reached into those buried memories lately and they remind me how far I have come and it makes this trying time seem easy.
It’s crazy how many people are screwed after just one month of not having their regular incomes. Is it that common for families with lots of kids to live on the edge without any savings buffer? I can’t imagine living like that.
@@frankjaegerr silverspooner are people who never experience poverty and hardship before and judge those poorer people as not working hard enough. Those who experience poverty knows that it hurt both mentally and physically, but also knows that life gets better as long as you are determined enough. So yes we are laughing at silverspooner and no one else.
@@desmondtang1952 you clearly shame yourself before a silverspooner takes time out of their silver life to even acknowledge yet alone, shame you..you're not that special.
It will be a good wake up call for people to look at the way they have been living. If you look at the expensive electronic applicances, the amount of beautiful clothes behind, the amount of wine bottles, the expensive laptops, desktops and IT gadgets, they haven't been saving for rainy days and probably have been living off on credit. It is important to save and live within our means. Don't take so much loans because the bank grants you. When times are good, save at least 30% of our income so that, when times are bad, we will not be at loss.
Elaine Kohwy I agree with what you are saying . You forget housing. Most people growing up in 70-80s grew up in houses avg 1500 sq ft with avg 5 children now 3000 sq ft is avg with 2 children. People think they need 3 cars and a boat
Mystic Ok, you are right. There isn't a need to have a mansion or a few cars to raise children. If one can well afford, it's fine, but it is not right to take so much loans, have no savings amd lead such excessively comfortable lifestyle. One doesn't need to be miser, just be wise in spending and saving.
Society will redefine wealth. Standing in a closet filled with clothes, that is bigger than many bedrooms speaking of hardship is disconnected from understanding just how hard being disconnected can be.
Been out of work for over a month and I haven't missed a mortgage, car, or internet payment. Wife is a stay at home mom and have 3 kids. These people act like they've been out of work for a year. 1 month and they're fucked up like this? I'm not understanding. These are tough times for everyone, a little belt tightening sure but again 1 month in and they're losing everything? I find this a bit hard to believe. My company is starting up again May 4th and it's a bit nerve wracking with this China-virus still out there but I still feel lucky to have a job but 1 month and they're in dire straits? What the hell is going on with the people?
mint hos exactly I feel like people shoulda have been prepared for this situation and buy the looks of there house they look like they shoulda been saving I could see if it was someone who was working in fast food or as a server or something but I feel like This family could have been prepared better !
I have been annoying people for well over a decade... live below your standard!! These people are "house poor" (meaning almost all income is tied up in bills/mortgages and or car payments) Everyone seems so caught up in having a nice car or nice house. Savings is more important. It's raining! I make 25k a year. Max. I have savings. This is because I don't give a rats behind what other people think of where I live and what I drive. Join reality and quit trying to "look" good. Just be good.
My daughter was just telling me that she hopes to "not" go back to work, she workes in a hotel (cleaning). She said that unemployment is currently paying her 3Xs what she was making at work. Crazy! Hope she saves it...
she might be getting overpayment. Unemployment usually covers 60-70% of your old salary. So if you make 1000 a month, unemployment gives you about 700.
Sometimes you can't always keep up with the Joneses. 🙄 I don't see anything wrong with living in a three-bedroom apartment and saving that money up for at least a year or two and Walmart and WinCo has always had great deals on food 🤷♀️ #GODBLESS🙏
@KC Chiefs SB LIV Champs who said anything about 2 years of savings? i have always had an emergency fund of 6 months of living expenses and 6 months worth of food at home. i am decently wealthy now, but i had those preparations at age 19 when i was making minimum wage. its not some new revolutionary idea to live on less than you make and save for hard times. there are thousand year old books that speak about saving for hard times... "Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down. Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."

His wages or hers prior to Covid were probably used to buy their electronics so how does that change what they are experiencing, as apposed to what others without named electronics are facing? We are all facing scared uncertain times and shouldn't be worried about who is more or less fortunate. I don't even own a computer yet I can still have major heartache for what these 2 families are facing! I hope you can gain compassion for others.
Running a successful business for a decade and you have no savings?.. franknez.com teaches you about financial literacy. Money is not the problem, money management is.
I’m probably gonna get so much hate for this. For Americans, it has been about 2 months since the shut down. If your life is already upside down you were doing something wrong or you were already struggling and this was just a nail in the coffin. 3-6 months expenses. If you have run a successful salon for a decade you should have been had that. It’s unfortunate but especially with 4 mouths to feed. Mouths you actually adopted and planned for. Your savings has got to be different from a guy like me who just has one. I also own my business. My time is coming. But it is at least 6 months away.
Anonymous 2020 I’m not rich. I lived paycheck to paycheck but still was able to take $50 out each paycheck. It took me losing my home after a divorce 6 years ago to learn that lesson.
@@zoepri3069 agreed totally. I'm in Africa, we don't have much disposable income but after watching this, as a single Mum even if it's $20, $30, $40 whatever I can I'll save it per month.

@@charliebennington5292 Your asking the wrong person and mean no disrespect by that. You see, I'm a very spiritual person and I do believe in God. Now with my comment before, I was talking about stupid people doing terrible things to others all out of greed. If the government is sending these checks/slash card, however they do it, they need to make sure it's in a timely manner and it's secure. I think they should also make it where people don't loose their homes or rentals for at least a few months after this whole thing passes. That would be too much like right though. People can be very ugly at times but there are still really good people in this world. All these things that are happening is prophecy. It has to come to pass. It just sucks that we have to go through this. Allot of people have lost their lives, people are grieving, and if we can't bounce back from all of this soon, there is going to be allot more crap people are going to go through. I don't think God is going to leave the whole world behind because as I said before, there still are really good people in this world.
People I mean very honest and good people will loose their home after the jobs. Who's gonna take care of them? Please Lord bless at least good people on this planet!
@@charliebennington5292 I think if people start to build their faith, God will save them. They probably will go thru some hard times, but in the long run, God will make everything ok. All we can do is pray and that's a great thing.😊
I guess you can appeal to those americans who need to make sure their cats and dogs eat while children are in need of food. But i guess they would deny you because the animals are the future generation 😆

I want to know how to get into contact with the salon owner and his partner. i work for perdue in Virginia and we are given chicken each week I can donate mine to that family... best wishes...
The name of the salon is in the video...SBK? I may be wrong as I didn't go back to check. His name is Keith Walker. I would suggest looking up the salon, calling there and leaving a voicemail? I'm sure he's checking his salons messages. Or, check Facebook? Just some ideas. God bless you. ❤️ from 🇨🇦
The ones they interview have nice homes and cars and a business. I dunno maybe this crisis reveals how financially unwise most of the people are I dunno
and people from the third watching this. Our heart is really breaking their kids can no longer have blueberries and whip cream in their banana oatmeal Vegan pancakes.
Why does having a hard time mean you have to look like you’re hanging on by a thread? These people had jobs up until a month ago. That means they could pay for those things. So because I’m not working my home should suddenly look like I never had anything? I shouldn’t have a car to get around, particularly when it’s dangerous to take public transportation? That’s a ridiculous line of thinking.
Not saying they're not having a hard time, but spending unwisely to the point where you wont even saved up enough for maybe 3-6 mos of basic necessities is a wrong move.
I'm lucky enough to still have a job. I work for a grocery store as a customer service manager. It's just my partner and I and it's a struggle for us. I can only imagine the struggle with kids. He was laid off, so now it's just me paying for everything. I never thought that I would have to be the sole breadwinner and its basically paycheck to paycheck. Everyone has a struggle.
@@gadzookshardy8158 Sorry you didn't understand my comment. What I to say it very simply is they buy on credit with money they don't have. They can't live I month without income.

@Roger Wilco I do agree with you. I have had Blood Cancer for 15 years and if I did not treat it every month that would be it for me. There is no treatment for Covind-19 and it is just the way it is. But my heart goes out to all people. We are all in this together.
Jesus is in hiding right now and so are the others like Allah, Jehovah, etc, etc. They will come out to perform "miracles" once this is all over. You're Welcome!

7:16 "we need hamburger meat".. Sounds like you need some beans and rice, I recommend everyone eat a little simply during these hard times, you'd be amazed at how much you can save.
Frozen veggies, rice, Boston baked beans & spaghetti+Meatballs for 1 month now. Sustainable and long shelf life so less trips to the store and less exposure.
tim timmyson exactly..everyone should try to eat 30% less than what you usually eat..good luck finding hamburger..I am able to find it like every 2-3 shopping trips...these days, I have to store hop to get what I need👀..to be honest, she does not look like she even knows how to cook, let alone cook a pot of beans with some ham bits and cornbread, with a little bit of cheese🤤.
I see alot of things they can still sell and make money.. but no they wanna act like victims always.. u cant wait for someone to pick u up .. gotta pick yourself up.. I got laid of due to covid-19 now I started a grocery job .. less than what i was use too but wasnt gonna sit and wait for anyone to help

So I dont feel I've had as much as struggle cause I'll still get my ssdi and also the new stimulus.

My husband and myself are getting no salary end of April, I don't know if I should cry or be happy but my husband is EXTREMELY positive and I seem to be the only one stressing
So you didn’t create a life that could weather these storms. You lived beyond your means and now we’re supposed to feel sorry for you? Living within your means means preparing for these situations too, not just today’s needs. We paid off our house during the pandemic because we saved before this and decided for future security we would get rid of our very last debt. We are completely debt free so if either of us or both lose our jobs we can still go for 3 years before needing to get new jobs. You did it to yourself. I only feel bad for those who were in poverty before this pandemic. They are the true sad story.
Just like they can make waffles from scratch, I don't feel sorry for them ppl need to learn to do things for themselves. If they think their ancestors would be proud that they totally rely on the grocery store for lemonade and waffles..... How embarrassing for them 😂
Elani Nyh Agreed. The no waffle situation could’ve been turned into a positive one for the sake of his child. No waffles? Let’s make French toast or pancakes together!! Don’t highlight the negative to your kids, specially when their worlds have been turned upside down. I wish I could work from home at this time and cook with my son.
They look well off to me White people experience a little bit of struggle and panic black folks and other minorites adapt bcuz we come from the struggle, they will be just fine, Put your faith in God! not the world...
Looking at some of these comments are disgraceful no empathy at all 🤦🏾♀️ this isn’t a rich or poor issue, we are ALL human and should have some type of compassion towards one another. It wouldn’t matter how much money you have in your pockets if you needed help or even a loaf of bread I would give it. This is what’s truly wrong with America now and I really hope some of you people understand what #UnitedWeStand really means. God bless you ALL.

@Ron Goldman How the hell can he open the economy when thousands of people are dying every day. They still don't have enough testing or ppe for healthcare workers. Yesterday we had the highest number of deaths in America. Lives are more important than jobs right now which is why we are all in Quarantine.
@Ron Goldman that orange idiot is the reason we have this problem to begin with. If he had simply manned up and acted like a leader for the first time in his life instead of his usual whining and lying, we could have opened the country by now. He is directly responsible for things in the US being as bad as they are.
These poor people... I’m so sorry. Also sorry for unemployment workers. They must be pushed to the limit. The first responders are not the only heroes out there.
I’m single, no real support system. I have been taking care of my mom for five years because she suffers from phobias, anxiety, OCD. Now I am out of the job, and have to see her 24/7. I have always been able to make it no matter what but I feel so stuck these days. I know so many of y’all are going through the same things. Families or not, it is so hard right now. We are in this together though and there is consolation in knowing that so many of us are miserable together and we will get happy together. We will make it through this people.
@Sabina Cruz, there are programs out here that will pay you to take care of your mother. Google, Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Programs for your area. They are paid through Medicaid. Stay safe!
hotsauce2007 thanks but we are lucky to have each other, my mom and I. She’s a bit crazy but I love her. And as a society, we are lucky we are in this together. This thing that’s happening to us all can’t keep us down if we are all in this together.
Brilliant Boss Lady! I wish it were that easy but we never had to have her apply for disability or anything because I just thought I could always take care of the bills. But we’re fine regardless. We’re all gonna be just fine. Thank you Boss Lady.

pearly Charles, thank you for responding so we can both be clear. So often people think all blacks suffer equally as bad unless they are on stage or playing sports. It is a struggle and have always been a struggle. I recall hearing Tyra Banks for as beautiful as she is, struggle to find work at times. I understood what you meant and for my part I only wanted to balance that perception which is also a reality. No one cares about racism until its their turn. Stay safe.
My heart goes out to the couple... but....look at your home! That’s not how I live... I have a comfortable home but most would not think much of my house. I live within my means which means I always put money in savings every month. I drive a 12 year old rusty dented car. In 2006 I lost my business, lost my home and I let 13 employees go. I started over! CONSERVATIVE as hell! I Bought a dumpy house, drive a dumpy car, and I save every extra penny I can! I’m not rich by any stretch of the imagination but After the Great Recession I’ve lived a life of preparedness for the next event and I’m ready for this... I can weather this storm OK.
Well done Ben. Same here. I'm not even conservative but just like you, the Great Recession taught me to be frugal and save every extra penny. Most people didn't learn a lesson from the Great Recession. Sigh!

He has a house note, along with car note,child care bills, that he has to pay monthly, whether or not the children go. He has to pay the monthly childcare fee to keep their place. He has savings......I'm sure, but for his family, give the man some slack!,

450 per month for grocery? Hmm ask them to look for videos of how household of 5-8 ppl able to feed themselves with $300.

I spend $500 on groceries per month for two people
Yen - if you are only spending 300 a month on groceries and there is more than 2 people living in your house, then you are starving and your refrigerator and cabinets are always bare looking👀..the only way you cN get away with that is if you already have about 2-6 months of food already stocked up
@ Me, that’s who
yeah... probably that family has some extra food in their pantry to add on... maybe they use coupons to get more things at lower price or they just eat really small portions.

First off, you're shopping for vegetables in the organic section and complaining you can't afford juice. Then you buy your kids lemonade which is 80% pure sugar. You can get 100% juice concentrate for half the price. Better yet. Drink water. It's better for your kids. And ok.

Likely still has to pay bills tho?
@@MrSurfsagger If you do the math, they lost approximately $800 a month because of his unemployment. With a family that size, that's likely their food bill. And daycare expenses are about $200-$300 a week for their youngest. Seems to me, they would be breaking even. So they obviously were struggling before this happened. Based on what I saw, they overspend on groceries alone. So it comes down to poor money management.
You’re right but it’s a lifestyle change that people unaccustomed will know how to navigate right away.

Thousands of dollars worth of apple products and luxury amenities and they can't buy groceries!!!
You have to realize thats stuff they bought before when they had work and money coming in. He lost his job, which means his income has stopped. So before yea he could afford it, now he cant, very easy to understand. Im sure you have some nice stuff too, if you lost all income does that mean you lose the nice things you already owned?? Think a little.
Yeah they didn't run out and buy all that when lockdown started.
I was thinking the same too when I saw all the Apple products. There is clear mismanagement of money here: they have lots of nice things but much of the $ spent on all that excess could've been put in a rainy day emergency fund. Not trying to prey on people's misfortunes but I think this is a hard lesson for all of us to really think of our priorities
At least their good looking couple.
car loan insurance , internet, cellphone, food (no ebt) .
Your savings run out
And not income
This people are worried how many months you cant afford .
Nobody knows when they can go back to work.
And the rent or mortgage they only approve April to pay latter.

I was more shocked that thyre still not married after having 4 kids
If i understood correctly, the guy who is the hair salon owner is adopting the 4 kids with his husband or male partner.

They took it in their hearts to open their home to children whose bio parents either died or didn't want to take care of them.

I grew up poor. My family was always broke and struggling for our next meal. I remember bringing home dirty toys from the junk yard or wearing dirty shoes someone had lost on the road. If I wanted for anything, I had to find a way to earn the money. I had my first job at age 9 and once I learned I could provide for myself, I never looked back.
Today I am grateful for those hard knock lessons of going without, surviving on very little and being grateful for the little things. I have reached into those buried memories lately and they remind me how far I have come and it makes this trying time seem easy.
It’s crazy how many people are screwed after just one month of not having their regular incomes. Is it that common for families with lots of kids to live on the edge without any savings buffer? I can’t imagine living like that.

It will be a good wake up call for people to look at the way they have been living. If you look at the expensive electronic applicances, the amount of beautiful clothes behind, the amount of wine bottles, the expensive laptops, desktops and IT gadgets, they haven't been saving for rainy days and probably have been living off on credit. It is important to save and live within our means. Don't take so much loans because the bank grants you. When times are good, save at least 30% of our income so that, when times are bad, we will not be at loss.
Elaine Kohwy I agree with what you are saying . You forget housing. Most people growing up in 70-80s grew up in houses avg 1500 sq ft with avg 5 children now 3000 sq ft is avg with 2 children. People think they need 3 cars and a boat
Mystic Ok, you are right. There isn't a need to have a mansion or a few cars to raise children. If one can well afford, it's fine, but it is not right to take so much loans, have no savings amd lead such excessively comfortable lifestyle. One doesn't need to be miser, just be wise in spending and saving.
Society will redefine wealth. Standing in a closet filled with clothes, that is bigger than many bedrooms speaking of hardship is disconnected from understanding just how hard being disconnected can be.
Could not agree with you more. The idea of they have to have it all now, is beyond me. Live within your means.
People won't wake up unless this get dragged out till next year in the fall, then maybe!
Been out of work for over a month and I haven't missed a mortgage, car, or internet payment. Wife is a stay at home mom and have 3 kids. These people act like they've been out of work for a year. 1 month and they're fucked up like this? I'm not understanding. These are tough times for everyone, a little belt tightening sure but again 1 month in and they're losing everything? I find this a bit hard to believe. My company is starting up again May 4th and it's a bit nerve wracking with this China-virus still out there but I still feel lucky to have a job but 1 month and they're in dire straits? What the hell is going on with the people?
As long as you are not spending more than you earn and save a portion, you should be able to get by just fine.

I’m probably gonna get so much hate for this. For Americans, it has been about 2 months since the shut down. If your life is already upside down you were doing something wrong or you were already struggling and this was just a nail in the coffin. 3-6 months expenses. If you have run a successful salon for a decade you should have been had that. It’s unfortunate but especially with 4 mouths to feed. Mouths you actually adopted and planned for.

exaclty what i though... im just thankful i have lived throw harsh times growing up and in 2008 . im not in same place as them.
@@Niklez7 same
Just sell 2 of your 3 cars.....would do something, might last for a few months at least...
Why is it that the people that was well off instantly go for unemployment. I’d just start looking for more work .
Because there is a pandemic outside you dumbass! How clueless are you????
I'm lucky enough to still have a job. I work for a grocery store as a customer service manager. It's just my partner and I and it's a struggle for us. I can only imagine the struggle with kids. He was laid off, so now it's just me paying for everything. I never thought that I would have to be the sole breadwinner and its basically paycheck to paycheck. Everyone has a struggle.
Hope everything works out for you!
Well wishes! Thank you for your courage working on the front lines helping to put food on our tables!
@@JenA2145 You too.
@@xoallison12ox Thank You for the kind words. You be safe and take care.
I hope things are better for y’all now. 🙏🙏🙏
I guess about 90% of Americans live beyond their means.
No businesses do not pay their employees... so most people are working from paycheck to paycheck....
Yes people are just rolling in the.money rolling rent mortgages are so cheap gtfooh u imbecile
@@gadzookshardy8158 Sorry you didn't understand my comment. What I to say it very simply is they buy on credit with money they don't have. They can't live I month without income.
That's a very conservative estimate.
Covind-19 is the Worst possible thing to go through with a young family. I am an American living in Australia and it is just scrapping along from day to day. Your Faith in Jesus will be tested by this. I would send Cash if I knew how to reach you.
@Roger Wilco I do agree with you. I have had Blood Cancer for 15 years and if I did not treat it every month that would be it for me. There is no treatment for Covind-19 and it is just the way it is. But my heart goes out to all people. We are all in this together.
Jesus is in hiding right now and so are the others like Allah, Jehovah, etc, etc. They will come out to perform "miracles" once this is all over. You're Welcome!
@Roger Wilco Haha!
4 kids?!?!? That is their own fault. And shame on them. The world is overpopulated. This video had me feeling the opposite of empathy.
MY HEART goes out to those who are struggling in this turmoil time.
I am one of the fortunate one , despite what's going , I am able to maintain my upper middle class lifestyle , and I am VERY GRATEFUL for that , and I am thankful every day.
I don't have children and anybody who depends on me , so that's one of the reasons I am able to keep things moving for me.
I hope you have some sympathy for the less fortunate and give a helping hand.
I pray for these people💗
Nothing will happen hunee. All those so called gods are in hiding right now. They will all come out to perform "miracles" once this is all over.
7:16 "we need hamburger meat".. Sounds like you need some beans and rice, I recommend everyone eat a little simply during these hard times, you'd be amazed at how much you can save.
tim timmyson
100%
rice and beans, beans and rice and dollar store frozen veggies!
Frozen veggies, rice, Boston baked beans & spaghetti+Meatballs for 1 month now. Sustainable and long shelf life so less trips to the store and less exposure.
tim timmyson exactly..everyone should try to eat 30% less than what you usually eat..good luck finding hamburger..I am able to find it like every 2-3 shopping trips...these days, I have to store hop to get what I need👀..to be honest, she does not look like she even knows how to cook, let alone cook a pot of beans with some ham bits and cornbread, with a little bit of cheese🤤.
Frank/Angela need foodstamp $500/600 a month.
And you know he's talking about that 100% organic and grass fed too
I see alot of things they can still sell and make money.. but no they wanna act like victims always.. u cant wait for someone to pick u up .. gotta pick yourself up.. I got laid of due to covid-19 now I started a grocery job .. less than what i was use too but wasnt gonna sit and wait for anyone to help
I hope when all this is over no one is the same as they were when it started. All this devastation should bring a new appreciation for the little things. I hope when all this is over we will all be better ppl. 💙 One love 💙
preppers warned you
So did just about every financial advisor everywhere. Always have an emergency fund.
@@highbrass3749 yep, so have several thousand year old books lol.
i have always had an emergency fund of 6 months of living expenses and 6 "Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down. Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."
The squirrels warned them too
People don't listen. They are reactive- not pro- active.
been filing since Feb. Still haven't received it. Can't call because the system TTY service says they aren't accepting calls due to the large amount of request. I've filled a form for a call back, its been a month, nothing. Living off credit card to survive. Not fun, it sucks, hoping things get better soon. We all need to work. Thoughts and prayer to everyone who was hit by this.
they have big homes and a massive apple iMac computers....yes, times are tough. LOL.
Yes it is, they worked hard for that and never thought work would ever just stop.
@@LightWatersLLC Who are they going to sell their MacBooks to when almost everyone in the country is broke?
He had that BEFORE being laid off gosh
@@hyjaxx9902 More like they put it on credit.
I knew before choosing a career that I needed to think about stability and essential...good thing I did.
koban4max ....I guess you’re in a public sector job then.
@@bluestonemetallic7 yeah. I just hate to think about regretting in the future.
We're all feeling this. I have no clue what to do Next Month, with 6 kids and I'm the only one that was working.
Apply for SNAP
I don't even know what my future holds right now. Whether or not I have a job to come back to that remains to be seen.
@Diane Smith Thank You, I did on Thursday, They helped with 3 bags of Grocery and Milk. My Sister in Chicago got a collection from her friends and neighbors, she'll send Me the Proceeds in the mail this week.
@@hyg44gu54 I did, we can get $200 next month. It's a tight squeeze but we just have to make it.
Manuel Ponce
Good. Also get some hybrid seeds and start planting you’ll eat for life.
Blessings
My heart goes out to everyone who's going through this hard time! I am alone and just me and my dogs and a few friends to talk too. So I dont feel I've had as much as struggle cause I'll still get my ssdi and also the new stimulus. That makes me feel glad I have some income on payday but my hear cant help but feel so bad for the world and this is a mess. I will be paying it forward to someone I find in need with my stimulus. I love helping. God bless yall we will get thru this.
P.s. It's all about attitude! We will have good days and bad days. Americans stay strong!!!
My husband and myself are getting no salary end of April, I don't know if I should cry or be happy but my husband is EXTREMELY positive and I seem to be the only one stressing
So sorry to hear! Don't stress please, big hugs, stressing doesn't improve anything.
Follow his lead.
So you didn’t create a life that could weather these storms. You lived beyond your means and now we’re supposed to feel sorry for you? Living within your means means preparing for these situations too, not just today’s needs. We paid off our house during the pandemic because we saved before this and decided for future security we would get rid of our very last debt. We are completely debt free so if either of us or both lose our jobs we can still go for 3 years before needing to get new jobs. You did it to yourself. I only feel bad for those who were in poverty before this pandemic. They are the true sad story.
Instead of the lemonade he should've gotten sugar and lemon juice he could've stretched it a little more
Laila W Or go to the aisle. There’s juice 1/2 the price of that one he picked. People need to relearn how to buy.
Even cheaper just my crystal light or milo make gallons of it from your own water. Store bought Lemonade is so overpriced and easy alternatives.
Just like they can make waffles from scratch, I don't feel sorry for them ppl need to learn to do things for themselves. If they think their ancestors would be proud that they totally rely on the grocery store for lemonade and waffles..... How embarrassing for them 😂
Elani Nyh Agreed. The no waffle situation could’ve been turned into a positive one for the sake of his child. No waffles? Let’s make French toast or pancakes together!! Don’t highlight the negative to your kids, specially when their worlds have been turned upside down. I wish I could work from home at this time and cook with my son.
He should've just gotten water
Like, how did they not save a dime & please sell a few cars if you don't have the means.
They look well off to me White people experience a little bit of struggle and panic black folks and other minorites adapt bcuz we come from the struggle, they will be just fine, Put your faith in God! not the world...
Looking at some of these comments are disgraceful no empathy at all 🤦🏾♀️ this isn’t a rich or poor issue, we are ALL human and should have some type of compassion towards one another. It wouldn’t matter how much money you have in your pockets if you needed help or even a loaf of bread I would give it. This is what’s truly wrong with America now and I really hope some of you people understand what #UnitedWeStand really means. God bless you ALL.
EXACTLY
Some of them like the salon owner don't have bank savings?
If you would live in your means, you wouldn't worry about money, you would have it!
@Jo Pearson but there also the 1's that smoke and drink and spend there money on other things
@Jo Pearson lol I don't waste money, that's why I have tons, ask my neighbors.
they can always pawn their Apple gadgets. it would be enough to feed a family of 9 for 2 months in some poor country.
Jo Pearson Dont take the point so seriously... people online just post stuff for fun too. We need a few seconds off the hard talk and anxiety. Besides, RUclips is international.
@@peterbilt9996 Your comment made my day. PREACH!
Why is he shopping without a mask or gloves...SMH
everybody around the world
lost their jobs including me 😥😥😥 because of this virus
@Ron Goldman How the hell can he open the economy when thousands of people are dying every day. They still don't have enough testing or ppe for healthcare workers. Yesterday we had the highest number of deaths in America. Lives are more important than jobs right now which is why we are all in Quarantine.
@Ron Goldman that orange idiot is the reason we have this problem to begin with. If he had simply manned up and acted like a leader for the first time in his life instead of his usual whining and lying, we could have opened the country by now. He is directly responsible for things in the US being as bad as they are.
Well, if your single you may find a good man
These poor people... I’m so sorry. Also sorry for unemployment workers. They must be pushed to the limit. The first responders are not the only heroes out there.
I’m single, no real support system. I have been taking care of my mom for five years because she suffers from phobias, anxiety, OCD. Now I am out of the job, and have to see her 24/7. I have always been able to make it no matter what but I feel so stuck these days. I know so many of y’all are going through the same things. Families or not, it is so hard right now. We are in this together though and there is consolation in knowing that so many of us are miserable together and we will get happy together. We will make it through this people.
I hope u find a way, your mom is lucky to have someone like u around, keep going
@Sabina Cruz, there are programs out here that will pay you to take care of your mother. Google, Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Programs for your area. They are paid through Medicaid. Stay safe!
hotsauce2007 thanks but we are lucky to have each other, my mom and I. She’s a bit crazy but I love her. And as a society, we are lucky we are in this together. This thing that’s happening to us all can’t keep us down if we are all in this together.
Brilliant Boss Lady! I wish it were that easy but we never had to have her apply for disability or anything because I just thought I could always take care of the bills. But we’re fine regardless. We’re all gonna be just fine. Thank you Boss Lady.
@@angelinimartini Your welcome Sabina! Take care!
This isn’t a struggle! This is spoiled wealthy people unable to make more wealth! Think about the people who lives like this DAILY!
You've made a good point. Wealthy people are usually spoiled brats. Its hard to become un- spoiled. We get everything we want.
Everyone is struggling right now except rich
J Lamp Not rich. Not struggling. Just know where to look for work and don’t wait for unemployment to save me.
Truthful4ever keep telling yourself that 😂

First problem they live in san Francisco 2nd problem they buy apple 3rd problem no birth control 4th problem they spend spend spend with no saving 5th problem they cry to much
Bobby Glander ....I am still using my 15+ years old computer system at this point.
😂😂😂
Definitely cry too much 😂😂
Shouldn’t have so many kids if you don’t have enough to provide in case of emergencies. You should have a couple months of savings idk. God damn.
This isn't lazy people on welfare, its been several months no work due to a pandemic. How do you plan for a pandemic ?!?
Barely afford groceries but have imacs.
Sell that overprice tech before asking for handout
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
God is calling us to return to Him.
Amen
People lived beyond their means just like they did before 2008....history always repeats itself.....
Wowwww... Now we all see how it feels not to be able to buy food or pay rent... We in the black community struggle with this every month.. Suck it up people... Stay safe people...
Not everyone black is struggling as that applies to all races. Many, yes, but not everyone.
@@thebastardgift I didn't mean it that way. I was just watching the news and I see a lot of talk about struggling and I thought that I would just put it out there... I don't know what community you live in but my community is struggling to pay rent and other bills every month.. You're right... the blacks that's not struggling don't live in our communties... My opinion...
pearly Charles, thank you for responding so we can both be clear. So often people think all blacks suffer equally as bad unless they are on stage or playing sports. It is a struggle and have always been a struggle. I recall hearing Tyra Banks for as beautiful as she is, struggle to find work at times. I understood what you meant and for my part I only wanted to balance that perception which is also a reality. No one cares about racism until its their turn. Stay safe.
@@thebastardgift You stay safe as well...👃🏾
pearly Charles, thank you.
I'm very thankful my husband can still work. We are making the same amount we were before.
Nice to hear you guys are still stacking paper.
He might be working now but you need to save as much money as you can
I live in Georgia I applied for unemployed on the 6 of April I was approved but I have not got my first deposit
Ive been using a water filter for years, it saves alot and its better for your health.
My heart goes out to the couple... but....look at your home! That’s not how I live... I have a comfortable home but most would not think much of my house. I live within my means which means I always put money in savings every month. I drive a 12 year old rusty dented car. In 2006 I lost my business, lost my home and I let 13 employees go. I started over! CONSERVATIVE as hell! I Bought a dumpy house, drive a dumpy car, and I save every extra penny I can! I’m not rich by any stretch of the imagination but After the Great Recession I’ve lived a life of preparedness for the next event and I’m ready for this... I can weather this storm OK.
Well done Ben. Same here. I'm not even conservative but just like you, the Great Recession taught me to be frugal and save every extra penny. Most people didn't learn a lesson from the Great Recession. Sigh!
Trump yesterday: “I was brutalized by the press.” You know what’s brutal? Needing a ventilator, not having access to one. Needing a #coronavirus test, not being able to get one. Needing a mask, a gown, a face shield, not getting them. Losing your job. Dying alone. That’s brutal. Barbara Malmet
me and my family feel the same way all i can do is hug my babies and hope for the best its not the first time it has gotten tight around here
I learned from my dad to always save/deposit money in the bank no matter how small or big.
EXACTLY. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS AND PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING.
SAVE SAVE SAVE
ANYTHING THAT CAN HAPPEN WILL HAPPEN
This is so sad... everyone is struggling now. I often have to put things back at the checkout stand since I do not have enough money. I cannot wait for this whole pandemic to end as it is messing up everyone’s lives.
In the meantime, stay safe, positive and healthy everyone!!!
Good attitude Trinh, you'll be okay.
Sure, our fridge and pantry is looking a bit different to usual. We have right now a List of Meal Ideas hanging on the fridge -- so we remember ! and don't waste food.
Lotsa folks have started stewing and freezing cheap, seasonal fruit and vegies. Great for nutrition and boosting meals.
Rearranging how we live and spend ... not all bad 😬. Stay safe all.
I'm not. The wife and I make over 120k and we are very well off. You dictate your future, don't be a lazy ass and you'll be ok.
EVERY Congress person MUST be called upon to voluntarily agree to accept the same $1,200 as salary as the rest of the nation. We ARE all in this together, and most of us have lost our income. Why are congressional leaders insulated from this struggle?? They MUST Lead by EXAMPLE. They are citizens too. SOLIDARITY will help them understand, truly understand. SHOW US YOU CARE enough to stand beside us, WITH US!!!!
Pelosi certainly doesn't care. Eat ice cream like she does.
Idiots weren't saving money.
