For those wanting to aide... I left her link in the description box.
Can I please ask if the link for her is updated? I’d like to help.
This is taking a toll on her, you can hear it in her voice. It really sad. When my rent hit $1700.00 a month I’ve move out and started sleeping in my van. I got use to it. It’s nice not to have the stress of it anymore. In 18 months I’ve saved $30,600. I don’t plan on ever getting a apartment again.
It’s not a question of what’s in your wallet, its what they can take out of it. Trump 24
I would have done the same.
That works when you are the only concern, but when there are children involved, it's not that simple.
Then move to a different state. My apartment in the pandemic (luxury 700 sqft 1b 1b apartment in wichita ks for $850/mo. Today it rents for $1000/mo
@@thedude5040this is a crap argument. A lot of people have family and friends and can’t just pick up and leave.
$2400 monthly? $500 late fees? $250 application fees?🤬...Yep, safe to say America's in deep $hit!
it's only a matter of time when the whole economy will implode
and it's only going to get worse. people wont be able to afford anything and they will be blamed for "ruining" the economy when they can't even afford to survive anymore. I fear for my own future and that of my family.

This is heartbreaking. There's something seriously wrong with this country. It shouldn't be this hard to just survive.
Even in the US, it was always this hard to survive until after World War II. People worked on farms, then in factories, then had the Great Depression. We had a mostly good run for about 60 years (1946-2006). Actually my theory is that this current situation is mostly the unintended consequence of women entering the work force to such an extent, which finally resulted in the housing market pricing out households with one middle class income instead of two.

Hey thank God Biden us sending billions to others countries wars and says we can afford it. I am seriously to fing point of grabbing the flag and heading south,
Thanks to the politicians this was planned.
This is called living outside of your means. That’s the problem with people in this country. Everybody feels like they’re entitled to having at all for nothing. If you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t be living in a $2400 apartment. I do not feel sorry for her at all.
This lady is holding on for dear life. Prayers to her and her family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Working and homeless! The new slogan. It's not always drug addiction that leads to this. We NEED to stop this stereotype. Cost of living, especially rent is far outpacing wages which are not even remotely keeping up.. For people with no roommates or family to move in with and not making more than 75K, it's rough out there.
Agree ..me and my spouse both are constantly on the grind but we can't move from our house because a comparable place would be six or seven hundred more ...we are older no drugs no drinking and pay all our bills and have less and less at the end of month like the last few days we may have no money
well, move to where you can afford to live like I and many other did. that simple

$250 applications fee is ridiculous. A scam. Should not be legal.

@@independ4416
Thanks for telling her that.
Resources are always helpful and welcomed!❤
@@independ4416 Those type of rentals require one to be at or below the artificially low poverty line. Most on SSA receive just above that which, in turn, disqualifies them for these rentals. The Feds set them at that level on purpose! And then anything through a rental company requires a household income of rent times 3. A very large majority of seniors do not qualify for that. Heck, many from any age bracket do not qualify for that very reason.
Then you have younger people telling them to go get a job. First off, due to an aging body, many cannot work most jobs. And even those who can and are willing to, cannot get hired because of extreme age discrimination. By the way, just because you do see a lot of seniors working, doesn't mean those places will hire you. You have to keep in mind the saturation factor. There are only so many jobs, but a whole lot more people looking who cannot even get an interview, let alone hired. And just because they have a sign or an ad, doesn't mean that they are actually hiring. That's a whole other nasty can of worms.
Haven’t got your own house yet?

What our politicians have done to our country is sickening.
The truth is that they have become the same evil.
Voter #1: “Who did you vote for president?”
Voter #2: “I voted for the Zionist, false-flag hiding, vaccine pushing pedophile.”
Voter #1: “I’m sorry, but you need to be more specific.”
What I discovered is that nobody I vote for is coming to save me. I unregistered to vote due to the fact that everyone in government has to sign AIPAC's loyalty oath to Israel and no one gets into positions of power unless they are completely controllable. Democrats are Marxist Communists and Republicans are Corporate Communists. They both shit out of the same hole. Government is a privately chartered corporation since 1871, and then along comes the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The fish rots from the head down.
1 percenters are child rapists connected to convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
America's leaders are all former associates of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
WE NEED A THIRD PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the government is quite generous, actually. Over the last 15 months they’ve given $150 BILLION of the money they have collected from American taxpayers and given it to a country in Eastern Europe that’s fighting a war with another country in Eastern Europe. Now they are talking about giving them another $80 billion this year.See? Generous.

I’m 60 and house and cars are paid for. I can’t imagine having to go through this. Prayers to all that are. Something is seriously wrong with America😢.
Because most people, when times were decent, they weren’t saving. They were going out to eat, buying unnecessary stuff, going on vacays etc. I had some fellow co workers make fun of me for using a flip phone 10 years ago when everyone else was standing in line to pay $1,000 for a new iPhone. That’s just one example. But I was able to put new tires on my car while others didn’t have that money for tires. I prioritized my expenses.
You don't have to. You were responsible. These people couldn't get their Ish together and will now suffer for it
Living beyond its means? Like the $32 trillion didn't go on the radar or something?
America should be ashamed of itself!🙄😒😡

Every aspect of the current housing shortage and costs, are directly related to the government destruction of free capitalist control and competition that once prevailed in the rental industry . It is the best example of what happens when socialist controls and practices invade an industry. The only survivors are the large industrial corporations like those now in control of the rental business.

Roommates and overtime then death cause of the stress
The fact they were allowed to mess up their daughter’s credit is deplorable. It’s hard out here I know it is but that’s awful
Agreed it’s disgusting. No excuse for that.
I can’t believe they messed with their daughters credit! Not exactly mother of the year🤬
She said they've experienced homelessness before. They've apparently have a history of making bad decisions. Causing negative remarks on the daughter's history is deplorable.
It happens I saw it with my uncle and his son
Got to watch these videos because it reminds me that you never know what people are going through. If I saw her in passing I’d never know she is struggling so much.
For everyone saying she had better options, did you hear her say the rental place only gave her 24hrs to decide and applications are $250! She isn’t lying! Rent starts at $2500 here in Miami for again, a single Mother in a partially safe neighborhood, br ya! This is the new normal until we fight the damn system.
Yeah it's HARD out here with trying to rent and almost impossible to even think of buying a home now unless you're rich. My rent went from $1,235 in 2021 to $1,800 now. But if I had to leave this place I would only find more expensive rent around this area. I take home $2,200 per month. So after my rent I only have $400 to cover food, gas, utilities, cell phone, and internet. I am unable to keep going like this.
agree. we have power if we UNITE and quit blaming the other....
Thank you 🙏 there are many more details explaining some of the factors that contributed to extremely limited (almost none at all) options. To have not signed the lease at this complex would have been a huge gamble. And moving to a cheaper place is not nearly so simple as many seem to think. I’ve included deeper details in the gofundme. It’s realllly long lol. Even that however is a very abbreviated version of what we have and continue to face.
I’ve tried to avoid looking at the comments. It’s just best I think. I happened to just glance at your comment tho and thought I’d take a minute to say thank you for picking up on and pointing out my mention of few options and believing me when I said that. There is so much more to our story than what has been told, and I would gladly move myself and family into a cheaper rental if given the opportunity. I’ve lived with 3 children out of a minivan before and very literally sought out the safest looking bush or dumpster to sleep behind in my past. I have no problem living in smaller places, or out of a van or rv. We’ve survived coping with so much less. Even the apartments we were forced to leave were full of registered sex offenders, criminals, those freshly out of prison, and the meth troubles at that complex were insane. Still tho, I could lock the door and pray for safety. I lived there because my credit and rental history were poor, and this complex had a reputation for taking anyone. Also had reputation for bug infections, mold, very poor maintenance, but was best I could get in that moment.
I would even listen to the suggestions from those who believe I’ve made poor decisions and could be doing life better. If there’s something they could teach me I would be very open to that and grateful for advice that could truly reduce some of my hardships. I haven’t received feedback yet tho that takes everything into consideration that landed me right here, right now. But I would listen and either put the advice to good use or explain how and why it has not been an option for me in the past.
It is comforting to know some understand, care, and recognize the need for a major course correction within our society which fuels this cycle. I know it’s important to recognize our mistakes, take responsibility for our actions, and make changes that produce more desirable outcomes. That eternal truth applies not only to individuals, but also groups/communities/nations as a whole. Conditions in this nation have developed and kept thriving that hold families in this pattern. Those who do absolutely everything in their power to escape this cycle remain trapped. It takes so much more than their hard work alone to get out of this. As a nation there has to be a decision to change conditions in such a way that those giving their all have the ability to attain the most bare basic necessities of life in exchange for their labor. Collectively as a nation, responsibility for these problems has not been realized yet and an appropriate level of responsibility assumed to change these conditions. So they persist. It’s easier to point fingers at those in this position as the irresponsible, slothful ones that aren’t doing enough.
Sorry I’m long winded lol… thanks again though. Every expression of understanding and care really mean a lot. 😊

@@yuminglu1161yes landlord greed
I was living with my elderly parents and sister in a 3 bedroom apartment in San Diego because I could not afford to pay rent on my own. The 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment was $2400 monthly. When we got a notice that the rent was going up $400 we decided to move. My parents and sister was moving to Las Vegas but I was not going to move with them. I found a room for rent in San Diego for $800 a month. The rent in the 3 bedroom where we lived now goes for over $4,000!
And it was your choice not to leave an untenable living situation.
I am appalled at the prices these apartments are charging. I am a senior and i am struggling to pay rent. I dont know how long people will be able to hold on. Food is no longer a necessity, since rent must come first. I feel so bad for her. I wish i could help! Seems ridiculous that someone cannot build homes for low income Americans. How in the hell can we support and pay $400 a night for illegals, and pay for other countries wars? Something wrong with this picture!,,,
I think with just the money getting into Ukraine you might have all the places rent-free.

The government doesn't care. If you don't check some kind of box or are an illegal your life doesn't matter.
Well, when Americans decide to rise up, the US military has an agreement among themselves not to fire on fellow Americans. Observe and understand what I am about to say.... These illegals coming in at 10K a day WILL be the recruits who will do us Americans like the Palestinians did the Israeli back on Oct. 7th, 2023. This pig we have for a president and all of his entire cabinet are trying hard as they can to knock out the US citizen's 2nd amendment rights, and the constitution at large. Can't you see it? THEY, your so-called elected leaders, ARE WORKING WITH ENEMIES OF THE NATION! Evidently something big and very violent is being organized to go down SOON in America, with these sons of bitches sitting back and letting so many aliens walk in completely unchallenged. The US has very finite resources! US citizens do not have enough to go around. There is no other explanation for this. These and their allies are the evil enemy of the citizens within.
What's wrong with this country is the stupid Democratic Party up there that can't run their own d*** life and they wanna run ours and they're screwing everything up killing this counthey need to be stopped
These high rents make it impossible for people to build disposable income to put toward a safety net. They’re on the fault line and all it takes is one mishap and they’re back to ground zero. It’s really sad.

You should also lay some blame on those white men and women who voted Republican.

We are ALL just a few paychecks away of being homeless due to circumstances beyond our control. This woman sounds like she’s doing all she could to keep her head above water. I also was in her position where I had to work all the time, full & part-time jobs, and even though I felt, I was poverty level, according to the government, I was less than five dollars over the limit, and therefore received nothing so I commend this woman.
Thank God, I am not this woman anymore and I have about two years worth saved up in case of an emergency, but not everyone is that fortunate. I picked myself up & I knew I never wanted to be there again, but it was a long road to get here & I never forget where I came from 🙌🏻
Best believe that is true! Those who profit from unhoused folks try to make folks think drug use and mental illness are why everybody is homeless. That sure isn't the case. These greedy fees and bull is why.

Bow to your new overlord , Sadly the land in America was stolen and now being resold at high prices , technically , god and natives own the land not greedy overlords that don’t even live in The same city.
Paying $7,000.00 to a landlord is way stupid. I would have used that money to buy a RV and begin to save money. She is going to ruin her health hanging onto that over priced apartment.
I remember when normal rent 4 years ago was $1000 for a 2 bedroom apt. Now I live in beautiful Utah paying $2400/mo for a 4 bedroom/3 car garage house! Never going back to Arizona. Expensive for low value.
I was evicted by a private equity firm that bought out our complex and evicted everyone. There wasn't any reason, aside from their excuse to remodel, then they jacked up the rent. These private equity firms should be investigated. This shouldn't happen anywhere in the US. That's what corporate politicians get you, and they're on both sides.
Ok but most small mom & pop landlords do the same exact thing. The corporate landlords simply reflect & amplify the mindset of the general populace and this whole idea about everybody & their mother wanting be some version of a real estate mogul and live off the rent collected from others.

$2400/mo rent when your monthly take-home pay is $2800 is nuts. Most places require that you make at least 3x the monthly rent but I believe she said the apartment is in her daughter's name who, being an RN, can likely afford this apartment. I checked out rentals in Maricopa County and found many available units, nice ones too, for half of what she's paying. Even assuming there are additional fees, it's hard to believe she can't find anything more reasonably priced.
Exactly they just living beyond there means i’ borderline 6 figs and id never sign a lease paying this much but it comes down to financial literacy
Maybe you missed it. This was the only place they could find with a 90 day window to move from their previous apartment. Then they were late ONCE and the apartment filed for eviction. They were able to stay when they paid all the rent plus fees, but the eviction is still on the credit of her co-signer - her daughter. That means they cannot move because they won’t be approved for another apartment while the eviction is on her credit.
@@jacquelinepureromance8375 It’s sad that not only did she ruin her credit she has also done the same for her daughter’s credit. My daughter is an ER nurse for 27 years but I would never ask her to cosign on a loan and then in that running her credit also. I refuse to burden my children.
People look harder for excuses versus remedies. It's blatantly obvious this woman and her husband have a history of bad decisions!!!
They could easily move somewhere cheaper problem is they don't wanna move what they consider is a bad neighborhood
$2400 rent for an apartment is a rip off!! It's ridiculous that you can't even work yourself out of debt. How on earth does our government justify helping everyone BUT the people here!!?

Her situation absolutely CAN happen to anyone who makes lousy financial decisions over and over and over again compounded over decades
@@MelywoodMediaExactly lol. Cause and effect are lost in these people.
@@MelywoodMedia nope. many of us learn marketable job skills and do not have kids out of marriage. many of us are responsible. stop feeling sorry for losers
@@narcissistinjurygiver2932 The biggest indicator of financial success is children and marriage.
@@narcissistinjurygiver2932 I was thinking the same thing--no mention of child support or extended family involved, she raised those girls while on the struggle bus. Now her one daughter that is a nurse and has a chance to break this cycle, has become a single parent herself! There is so much to unpack with this lady and so many poor financial choices that it is hard to feel sorry.
EDIT: Let me clarify my comment. Of course it “matters” how she got here in the sense of needing to learn from her mistakes, etc. But what matters the MOST at this point, is people need affordable housing. Period.
It doesn’t matter HOW she got into this situation. That’s in the past. It’s totally unacceptable that this is today’s reality for so many. Wages have been stagnant, or even lost value while rents, and the cost of living in general, have skyrocketed
The government is lying about the inflation rate. The price of everything is sky rocketing.

Landlords have to protect themselves too!! Own a property or work in property management, and you’ll understand. I must support myself, too
@@0oohhhlala - I used to own two rentals so I know being a landlord can be stressful. My last tenants in my last rental property (which was in immaculate condition) caused about $10,000 in damage. We asked them to move because we decided to sell the house. It took us over a month to get the interior back to the condition it was in before they moved in.
However, private equity firms and hedge funds have bought up massive amounts real estate and they are evil.
@@0oohhhlala What most people do not understand is that there is overhead in
a rental property. Property taxes for a modest single family home alone is
like $400 - 600 a month. This is in smaller cities where housing prices are
under 400K. Where this woman is that place looks pretty much upscale.
There are probably much less expensive places in other areas of that city.
What I am seeing is that she has decided to live in an area that
is not affordable for her. Kind of like the guy who buys
a $70K pickup while making 40K a year and who complains about
the cost of everything. I see a lot of people like that where I live in
Florida. People who have $120K worth of vehicles in the driveway along with a boat and
a couple ATV's while complaining they can't make ends meet. Well?
It's called living within your budget. I do know some landlords who do screw people.
The properties are not taken care of yet they charge top dollar for rent.
But, most are just trying to cover costs and make a couple hundred a month profit.
The woman in this video seems like a good example of a person not living within
her budget. A place like that complex would be out of reach for most people I know.
But the people I know find a cheaper place and have no where near the problems this woman is having.
I look at the apartment and the stuff they have and again, she is living beyond her means.
An apartment like that even in Europe would be expensive...
Amenities are not water sewer trash collection etc. and you do not want to opt out of those. amenities are the fitness room and pool - that’s what you’re being charged for.
Can't even say anything bad about this Lady. The hurt and despair is heard in her voice throughout this interview. I pray that things get better for her and her family.🙏🏾

@@bgreg6069Unfortunately, even moving into a ghetto wouldn't save her that much money. It's getting that bad.
I’ve been where she is. We all are broke and house poor or rent poor. The fed wants us to struggle while they make the fat cats richer. I feel for her. We were homeless for two years at one time.
Or maybe some people just make bad financial decisions. I have friends who have made more money than me who are now in their 50's and don't own a home. I made multiple mortgage payments a month when I could, lived like I was poor and got debt free. I started out as an adult with $40 a box of food, some clothes and a bike. Didn't have a reliable car until I was 31. I never whined like I was owed anything and I always paid my rent before anything else -- even food.

@@back2the80sOof. Jealousy ain't cute, baby girl.

This is awful, I can't believe that decent hard working Americans are so trapped in the situation. Something has gone very wrong over the last 30/40 years.
But we have money for Israel and Ukraine! ANOTHER 100 Billion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But no money for Americans.
I lived in metro-Phoenix (Scottsdale) for decades. I have seen the pain, discomfort, displacement of good people who suffered one calamity which snowballed into homelessness. Almost happened to me. I moved to Wisconsin. Bought a house in 2018. Lucked out w/ low interest rate.
If I were a billionaire I’d bail out these type of people and set them back on their feet.
Thanks everyone who’s praying for this woman and those like her.
I lived in Scottsdale too forever moved to Texas in 2019. I miss the old Scottsdale loved it then but never would again
Not gonna judge..alot of people have it rough these days😮

Oh Thank you!!!
I'm trolling. Guiñty!
I was so discouraged, disheartened and disgusted how judgemental most of these comments are. And she knew she was going to get them.
It's so easy for some to sip on a Martini while they tell you what a f up you are.
Judging isn't going to help her or anyone.
I read 'she should ' 'she could have'. What about now? Help her! Don't beat her up anymore! Do whatever You can. This woman is asking for help.

In 1990 when I moved out of my childhood home, my rent was $350/month for a nice 1 bedroom apartment, and the total bills were about $600. I made $17/hr at the local cable company. I made around $2200 per month. I had a '91 Camaro that had a $230 per month payment, insurance was $100, and plenty of money to spend on food and entertainment. My kids make a little more, but their bills are around $2k with roommates for housing alone. This country is f_cked.
No one cares jerkoff. We have are own problems.
Yall should’ve voted better and stop blindly following those corrupt old white people that were alive before blacks even had rights. But no don’t take accountability just say the country is fucked while bragging about how better life used to be. Bitch.
It’s worldwide. The entire world is screwed. Except for the 1% who will have everything.
The whole world is
Very similar I first moved out of his 92 395 nice one bedroom making about 600 bucks a week. Had an older car myself I always had plenty of money. I wasn't unique either
God bless this woman. I hope she and her girls make it through ok. I can hear and feel her anguish, it just feels like the whole world’s snowballing from one disaster to another
I hope she get smart and move into a RV, so she can save some of that $2800.00 she makes monthly.
This is horrible and sickening at the same time. How much can someone endure. So many people are suffering.
The landlords are out of control.
$2400 for rent???? This lady might be better off keeping her full time job, living in a tent for a while and INVESTING in BLACK ROCK or VANGUARD, the INVESTMENT GROUPS which are BUYING UP all these apt complexes and taking ALL OUR MONEY !!!! 🙏🙏
All it takes is 1 million people and a day of bravery.
“How much can someone endure.” ??? Lady is in an expensive large modern apartment that she can’t really afford. She has loving family. Her RN daughter paid off the truck and lets her use it as a daily. She’s not missing any meals. Her kids are all working and/or in school. Clean clothes. Able to work. Now I understand that money is apparently tight …. but is this really a horrific case study about the demise of America?? Yes her voice sounds like it’s about to break down … but that just appears to be her normal voice. She will be okay. Carry on.
@@krisiluttinen Like-in-Russia?
I’m sorry but is it me, or does that apartment complex look like a prison or public storage facility with nice landscaping? $2400.00 a month? She needs to find an older apartment building that is owner occupied for less and save her money. She is so going to get shafted again if she stays there. Corporate owned rental complexes will rape you blind. The rent will always go up.
I agree. I don't think they'll be there much longer, unfortunately. Those b*stard owners will jack up the rent to $3k. I wonder why she doesn't apply for disability because of her back issues.
Can you help her with that need?✌️♥️

The age of the property doesn't matter... landlords do it (overcharge) because they can. The laws on the books are for "Corporate America" not the voting constitutes. We need delegates that work on behalf of the typical American.
I agree that I would hope they could find more affordable housing. I dont know that area at all, but maybe someone familiar with that area could help them w/ that? It seems like that would be a GREAT place to start.
@@janetsmith2104exactly. Buildings built in the 70s and are falling apart start at 1k a month in my area. :/ it's disgusting.
In the late 80’s early 90’s with 2 small children, I worked 3 part time jobs while going to college and my husband who worked a full time job, also took on a part time weekend job. The debt we had gotten ourselves into, we got out of ! And stayed out of debt ! We didn’t eat out, we cooked our food from scratch ! No fancy expensive coffee drinks for us. Drove our cars into the ground. We did what we had to do. No different than today. People don’t budget at all.
She works full time and can't afford housing. But yeah, you bootstrapped (probably bullshit) your way through life so everyone else should have to. Like we're in a 3rd world country lol.
The biggest lie in America is that a life of hard work matters. As she said, one little crisis wipes away any positive history you have. Work or credit. And unlike the past, it isn't erased after a certain period of time.
The real pandemic. Keep showing the real Big Super!!! At the end of the day, the cost of living is extremely ridiculous.
Only in certain areas and mine area is now prime for a huge boom, next exit on the turnpike that still has land for cheap but going up fast. Moved here 12 years ago. What a bargain. It took pocket change to buy a house. Cash on the barrel head. Now, it's the up and coming suburb of the surrounding Philadelphia suburbs. You should see the houses of the people who commute to NYC. Mowing their lawn with their thoroughbred horse running the property. Man some of these homes make tears roll from your eyes. Those people from Manhattan sketched a plan and carried it through. Smart minds.
@@doloresm7396 Good for you
The pandemic was the biggest money clean-out in history. Still not ending. They destroyed our lives.
With her daughter having MS perhaps she’s eligible for affordable housing along with Ssi. She could be her caregiver and live with her.
Great idea! I hope she's aware or reads this comment. ✌️
The only problem being that DES makes you do so much asinine bullshit to get that and keep it, it may as well be a full time job.
Her daughter should have disability insurance the system is messed up. I see people they say they stomach hurt and on disability. they make it bad for people who really need it. Because they lying because they just don’t want to work, they lazy, and they live off the system.
@@tiffanycurtis4794 How bad does a stomach need to hurt before you say it's reasonable to be on disability?
On a spectrum of mild occasional heartburn to chronic ulcerative colitis?
Then a follow up:
If someone is always in visible agony, is that okay? Or if someone is showing their strength and hides it as best they can, are they not deserving of a break?
Finally:
How do you, personally, know they are lying, and what would change your mind?

This hits home hard. I was raised in the 70's with a single mother who made slightly above all the requirements of assistance. I asked for free breakfast in Kindergarten and my mom told me we did not qualify so we went to school hungry. My mom made us lunch but we went many hours in the am with growling stomaches. People who love to judge have grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends who help but for many they have no one to help and therefore they fall behind and trust me it does not take much. Life will throw many things at you at once and if you do not have that support system it will knock you straight to the ground and when you are there people will think oh she had drug problems, alcohol problems, mental problems or no morales. My brother and I were alone at home in Kindergarten with no food to many times to count cuz my mom had to work to pay for those over inflated bills. I hate to say it but those times are coming again for many families and so many precious children will suffer.
And what's crazy is the child tax credit was discontinued and the house of representatives and the Senate
continues to kick the can down the road.
@@lindawalker5144 What? I did not know the child tax credit was discontinued. That is what I relied on every year with my own children in daycare.
Exactly many of us have none or limited help. Those criticizing have more support or have forgotten how rough things are for some.
I'm so sorry you had to go hungry
that is because you had a bad mom. a bag of rice is cheap.
My heart breaks for this woman because her story is so typical and it only gets worse the older you get.

I was thinking the same thing (about her getting older). This is terrible
A lot of persons leave wherever they were living in the world, run to the USA, and unless they someone do whatever it take to beat the odds, end up living a miserable life. I empathise with the lady in this video. My heart goes out to her.
In Georgia at a large corporate rental agency near Athens I had to go through a criminal check
As a teacher I told the application manager that sort of seemed odd as if I was a teacher a criminal history would revoke my employment or certificate immediately. Thus I already had undergone a criminal check for decades.
The manager had no answers for that one as teachers usually did not rent too often from them.
Still had to go through it and pay $55.00 for the GBI to determine I had no criminal history.

"I've had many vehicles over the years and every single one has been repossessed." I think we have a bigger issue here going on...
Could be. We never hear the complete story when more than one person is involved.
Thank you.
She should get a hoopty for cash that runs. 🚙
She will not change. I have struggled to survive and I never had my car repossessed. I lived within my means, whatever that was. You do what you have to do. You are not entitled to a nice 2 bedroom apartment. She would rather feel sorry for herself.
@CroisMoi I agree that some people would rather be the victim than to learn how to be self-sufficient. I've had rough times, but I'm too stubborn to quit! Apparently she isn't.
When I was in college a friend was telling me that Illinois is too expensive and that she’d move to Arizona where it’s cheaper. This was 2009. She did eventually move to Arizona but Chicago suburbs has apartments for around a grand but it’s getting expensive depending on where you live and size of the unit. Be it one bed or two bed. My best wishes to this woman. She is breaking her back to make ends meet. And so sorry what happened to her daughter.
Phoenix area and Flagstaff are crazy on rents.
@@SusieQ-mn3qf really? That’s a shame.
Oh we feel her so much.. We never had any evictions or anything but because we live on my social security and my husband has to take care of me we can't find hardly anything to rent but complete trash.. They want your income 3xs the rent which is impossible on $1200 a month. If you haven't had a place and have limited rental history they ding you for that and won't rent to you, your credit score needs to be 650+..which mine isn't because we pay cash for anything we buy.. Don't need unnecessary bills. Drive a 20 year van thats paid off and had to sleep in it last summer because we couldn't find a place.. Then cost of food. When your homeless its not like you can buy food to make when you have no way too cook it. Ive eaten sandwiches until they made me throw up.. Try living in a van when your in a wheelchair.. You have to leave your chair outside so you can sleep.. Its awful.. Property management places are the worst kind of people.. Your best bet is to try and find a private person renting out a place.. Less hoops to jump through but even many of those lie about their place and its a mold infested poop hole or something to that effect.. My heart breaks for her.. My husband and i call it the American nightmare.. Praying 4 this lady and her family.
The economy, loss of wage hours in 2020, I was forced to apply for my SSN earlier than I wanted to. If I didnt own my home, still paying for it, there is no way I could afford an apartment in Phoenix. I would need to apply for low income housing or live in a low income senior citizen residence. Every option in my price range is in an unsavory community. Im extremely grateful to the Most High for making my way straight, keeping me healthy and mobile. My vehicle is paid for and Ive been digging my way out of debt these past 3 years. I realize everyday that there are others who are in a more difficult situation then I am. I believe this is the new normal. Buckle up. It's gona be a bumpy ride. Be safe.
So many of us are struggling. Walk a mile in the other person's shoes. We NEED to help each other. Somehow.
I agree, we should and are helping each other with our taxes - unfortunately, our govt feels that tax money should go to Ukraine, illegal immigrants, and corporations. Average American is screwed and it will get much much worse.
She is going to destroy her daughter's credit!
I think she should be living with her daughter
For the last 7 years, I’ve rented my $500k home in FL to my sister and her family for $1000 a month. I don’t think she’ll ever be in the position to get her own place. 😢
Well, Mr i_run_far1132, the sad truth is many of us won't be able to have our own place, because of the low salaries we were paid in the past.

So glad to have met you at the Food Truck event in Goodyear. You are a great guy brother. I also do Real Estate here in AZ, and for this woman to be paying $2,400 a month, they should absolutely have their amenities up and running 24/7. The pool being down is not acceptable. This woman is a prime example of doing what you are supposed to, Work, pay bills and try to live your life respectfully, and now it's at the point were she can barely survive. This is horrible.
Sadly, this is the entire state of America. Cost of living is out of control and Americans can't sustain this much longer 😢. So sad that full time working people are having to live like this.
This poor woman is making every bad and wrong decision there is to make but, at the same time, she's making desperation decisions to survive.
The rents being charged are totally outrageous, tenants need to unite and force state legislatures to have RENT CAPS. This is highway robbery and criminal conduct by property owners and corporate management. Disgusting and immoral behavior.
Agreed
Thanks Blackrock!
Rent control is another game. Sure the rent is capped but maintenance is slow or nonexistent. Living conditions are awful.
Nope, supply is the problem - allow more building and oversupply will drive down prices
Lol rent caps will force small landlords to leave and you're only left with corporate landlords and it'll get worse for tenants
Had to move from AZ to Colorado. Couldn’t find a house to get accepted for in the metro area or an hour away that was decent for the price. Moved to Colorado and mannnnnn I wish I would’ve moved sooner. Bought a home in Colorado for 1/3 of the price of PHX and I’m not in the desert I’m close to the mountains and the economy is a little better than Arizona right now as well. Only thing that sucks is Colorado isn’t close to Vegas or California or Mexico for vacations, but I couldn’t afford to vacation living in PHX cuz it was sucking me dry anyway.

The overall economic health of the country is definitely at least part of the problem. Rent needs to be controlled somehow, healthcare should not bankrupt people like it does in the USA . The problem with the USA is all the money that could be spent to help the people (healthcare, food stamps, affordable government housing) just to name a few is spent on wars enriching the military contractors. It is absolutely disgusting that billions get sent to Israel so they can commit a genocide in Gaza while we have millions people sleeping in tents all over the country. Then there is the billions being sent as military aid to Ukraine losing the war as they should!!! Absolutely disgusting!!
She is amazing to be willing to talk about her situation on camera. This is happening all over the country. It is so sad, and scary. I am very thankful this is not my situation, but the reality is ANYONE is one emergency, one bad day, one lost job, one horrible situation from ending up like this. No one should be talking shi*, because this can happen to anyone!!
I'm a full-time employee and I live with one of my parents. She has giving me so much time to find a place to live and I really appreciate her for it. But, its nearly impossible today because so many places are wanting you to pay abnormal prices just for a one bedroom and some are supposed to be the affordable ones.
Try to live with them long as you can , keep saving your money and building your credit. The housing market is going to crash soon so try to hold off moving on your on
That and the fact that you have to make three times he rent to qualify is crazy. If rent is 2500 a month you have to be bringing in 7500 per month two people working blue color or minimum wage don’t come close to that a month.
@@eriq54321save? 😂😂😂 please come back to reality
It's true. I am in the midwest and very occasionally I can find something like a 2 bed house for rent for $750 but it's rare. The issue is that I'd have to pay someone to shovel snow and do the lawn, as I'm partially disabled. The costs of living rack up. I think I prefer a cheap apartment and those are in short supply.
@@user-wh5ir4fo4rI live in upstate NY and you can't even get a studio apartment for less then 800 and that's the crappy ones. You want a good studio or 1 bedroom apartment you're gonna pay atleast 1200. I've seen 1 bedroom apartments rent as high as 3500. Its utterly ridiculous
American Middle class is a blip on the timeline of history.
I looove Arizona and I lived there from 2016-2020 but the cost of living has absolutely skyrocketed out there. I left and went back to Detroit because I feel like this was going to happen to me as well. I've always wondered how long-time residents are making it work. Back in 2016, a friend of mine bought a house for $224k in Chandler and now it's worth $450k. Just for a 1200sqft ranch. Thats absolutely insane.
From my observation, places that have very nice weather tend to not have much industry and only hospitality jobs that rely on tips for wages.
I moved to AZ in 2003 mostly because it was affordable, nice winters, low taxes...etc. It was possible in 2003 for a single mom, to maybe be a waitress at a nice restaurant, work as a cashier or some other entry level job and afford to OWN a home in a decent neighborhood and raise her family. That's long gone. PHX hasn't been affordable since the housing bubble recovery in maybe 2015. At least our taxes have stayed relatively low.
@@trumpshare I cant even imagine living in Phoenix back then. I live in Detroit now and housing is still very affordable, much like how Phoenix was back then. To think of getting a house for under $100k out there is wild to me. Now it's rare you can get anything decent for under $400k.
This is not her fault, we all don't get paid enough. This can happen to anyone. I wish her the best.
We all don’t get paid enough? I think people live beyond their means. If a person can’t meet their financial obligations then they need to either get more education for a better job, cut back on the crap they don’t need, or move to a less expensive living situation.
@@hairyparatestes1183if you’d take the time to listen, she explains exactly why she had to quickly settle for something beyond her means

This lady looks like she's on the verge of tears. I see why if that was me i would be in a precarious situation myself. God bless her. Every time they show the amenities in these places it's always empty. Like no one has time to utilize the amenities because they have to work so much
When you have corporate take overs on larger amount of properties and airbnbs in every corner, this causes a massive increase in prices. No one wants to step up the plate and stop home investments. Homes are to livelihoods and should not be considered as profit centers for the few. This is happening all around the world.
Don't forget population growth and no new house Construction and Rising taxes
Don't forget dirty money flowing in from Asia for a little cleansing 😊
Sickening. My kids are 25 and 27 years old, unmarried, and can't get a place of their own without my financial assistance. I live in a rural town in Northern AZ, and it still costs over $300K for a crappy, 50-year-old manufactured home, and my son rents a 100-year-old apartment in Albuquerque with NO AIR CONDITIONING that costs $1200/month (I had to co-sign for him to qualify for the apartment!) Landlord GREED is to blame. Properties here are no longer selling because no one out here with low-wage jobs can qualify for a mortgage anymore (oh, but the retired Californians are flooding in and paying $500K cash for a shit home, pricing all of the locals out of the market.) If nobody qualifies to pay exorbitant rent, those $2400 apartments will eventually become vacant. I am eligible to retire in 2025, but I am afraid I will have to work until the day I die, just so I can help my adult children. It stresses me out so much, that I'm actually hoping diabetes and high blood pressure will kill me sooner rather than later, so they can benefit from inheriting what is in my 401(k). How awful to not have family in a position to help.
I highly doubt it’s Californians. (I being one of them living in Oklahoma renting). Californians of any state have been bleed dry for years renting at a premium and have no money in savings. The likely culprit is corporations that bought out homes and now selling them at a markup. It’s happening all around the USA.
What did she say???? She has had many cars over the years and all have been repossessed. What?? Who in the crazy hell has all of their cars repossessed? That is freakin weird. 😮😮😮😮
It’s sad to say it is the same everywhere, it is beyond frustrating to work our asses off just to worry about where to get some food or how to get on top of rent that is unfairly and greedily going up, and what the f___ is that about a $250 application fee…that is greed at its finest and the people who collects those GREEDY GOUGING fees should be ASHAMED of themselves!!!!!!
it's happening all over the country. I am a paralegal and I had to pick up working at a gas station and I do uber eats and still isn't cutting it! My life savings went to medical bills for my kids and me - autism speech therapies for my kids one is deaf one is autistic and for me lupus treatments. I have owned two houses by age 35 an I am going back to renting. It is too much for basic needs. Food banks has been so helpful in between paychecks. It can happen to ALL OF US. Be kind karma never misses
Was it worth it going to school to be a paralegal?
yes it was

Hang in there!! ❤
Yes, it can happen to anyone ❤
Where do you live? If your child with ASD is in the school system then they should be getting speech therapy provided by the school district. I am an occupational therapist in a school district who conducts ASD evaluations. I'm in Oregon and there are also free early intervention services (which include speech therapy) here for children up to age 5
4.0 student, scholarships and being failed by the system. It’s so sad.
Nobody should judge this lovely woman. Everybody is struggling this can happen to anybody. We are all a sickness or loss of job away from being homeless. God bless this beautiful woman and her family. ❤❤❤❤
