Surviving? Not really.
I live in San Diego, one of the most expensive areas of the Country. Although I earn twice minimum wage, I support my entire family by myself. My husband works in construction and hasn't worked in over a year. The housing bust hit San Diego hard. A year and a half ago we had $20,000.00 in savings. Now we are 2 months behind on our rent and can barely afford food. Every month we beg our landlord for just a few more weeks before he throws us out. We have a 4 year old that I took out of preschool because we can't afford it. Our family could make ends meet on two salaries. We can't do it on one. I can't even see an end in sight.
Fighting back? Not even. More like giving up.
