Throughout my entire life--or, only as much of it as I can remember--my family struggled financially, as we still do. I had become so accustomed to my family’s penny-pinching tendencies that I would constantly compare prices whenever I went to the grocery store to see if I could find a cheaper price.

First, we must address what it looks like to live within our means. A study conducted by CNN reported that 76 percent of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck (Johnson). On top of that, many do not have sufficient savings to cover six months of expenses. According to Johnson’s survey, people do not have enough to save after all of their expenses. Here in lies the problem. If you do not have enough money to meet pay for your expenses and save, you are spending too much. Catherine New compares how the wealthy also live paycheck-to-paycheck. In her article she writes, “My friend and her husband are doing an excellent

In Your Money or Your Life, Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez pose the question “what would you rather save, your money or your life?”. They say that, while most everyone would give up their money to save their lives, several individuals would honestly rather save their money. This view is because the average person does not believe they make enough money to be happy and believe their work lives are sub-par. In part, this belief is caused by the mundane routine working class individuals go through every day. Robin and Dominguez believe that most people are “making a dying” rather than making a living.

Finance stability has been a problem since “big business”, the Gilded Age in the 1870s, the Stock Market Crash in 1929, and even with the sixteenth amendment in 1913. Living is becoming expensive in the 21st century automobile expenses, house payments, food, clothing, and so on are ways an individuals income can be tampered with. That’s why America should learn to budget themselves to keep money in their pockets. When it comes to making decisions on purchases one should, "Wait overnight, put some time between your emotions and the transaction." (Rachel Cruze). Saving money will not only build your income but the savings act as a ‘life line”; this prepares you for a life time enjoyment after retirement, provide a safety net in case of an emergency and aid in being financially

Feeling bemused and as though I can barely breathe, and knowing that I will betray her, the decision is made. Every part of my being knows that I must find him; at her expense.

I was born and raised in Pune, India and moved to USA at the age of 9. As my family navigated our upper middle class lives in Pune, people all around us suffered. They were born into poverty, with no money or food, and often no family to care of them. As I went to shopping malls and watched movies, I just had to look a few feet in any direction to be reminded of the fortune I had, and the misfortune others suffered. One of my earliest memories was of a child no older than 8, covered with fecal matter and dirt, struggling to pull his father, a blind quadriplegic, on a sled. The father, riddled with open wounds and fleas, was begging for money, flailing his body towards people he could not see. Not a single person even looked his way. Who was going to take care of the poor father and his son, ensure that they were both fed, deliver the medicine they needed? To this day, I wonder if anyone ever bothered taking care of them, and if either of them even survived. His desperate pleas continue to reverberate in my head, and the guilt I feel for not answering his pleas makes me feel like their fate was on my hands. That was the first day I felt helpless in my life, as I did nothing but watch poor father and his son from inside my car.

“Mom, when I grow up; I’m moving to New York City!” I remember telling my mother at the tender age of twelve. That dream of living in the big apple stayed in the back of my head until it finally became a reality. I was twenty years old and was ready to come into my own, so I made one of the most significant decisions of my life. A decision that is most responsible for the evolvement of a young boy having to quickly become a man. I moved to New York City. It was there that I would soon learn, that along with all the excitement and responsibilities associated with this new chapter of my life, also came a ton of fears and many lonely nights. It was there, where I would have to learn to fend for myself to survive. After all, this was an enormous unfamiliar city full of people, tall buildings, unforgettable noises, a distinctive scent and big dreams. It was there, in New York City, that I would grow up and spend the next sixteen years of my life.

A quote I would stand by or approve of is, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’”– Muhammad Ali.

Many people may have different views on the value of life. My ideas fit into the movie strongly because i believe that one man can change many lives. A human’s life should not have a value, but a bad experience may force us to put a dollar value to someone. A small life experience may change someone's life to a complete 180 and start headed back to the beginning. No income or status should put a value to a person in no circumstance. Someone with low income or low status may be in most cases more hard working and more time put into the people around. No human should have a dollar value placed upon them to determine how valuable their life or life period is worth.
