Making Ends Meet

Okay I was half way paying attention to a show that came on tonight, I think it was called "Family Secrets" or something like that.

They were talking about a single mom of 3 who was missing. Her brother and friends were out looking for her every day trying to find clues. People from the community were helping as well.

Of course she's a single mom so she's doing what she has to do to "make ends meet". I understand this and I applaud every single mother out there that does this. I truely do not know how you do it and stay so strong - although I know there's a break down every now and then but that's what your friends are for. ;-)

Now for this lady to make ends meet she learned how to do massages. And evidently offered "extra ammenities" with her massages for the right price. Evidently when the community heard of this less and less showed up to help search for her. Okay, she's still a single mom with 3 kids who still need her. Regardless of what she does for a living you should still try and find her. Now if she had killed someone or was a rapist or something like that then I could see giving up the search - not worth my time.

But the real reason for this post was because of something else they mentioned. If you're doing everything you can do to help provide for your kids and all then don't you think you should give up your $6,000/month house? Yep that's right, they said her house was an estimated half or 1 million dollar house. Maybe that's what you should be giving up. Live within your means. What are you thinking? I understand you want comfort for your kids, but seriously you can't find that in a house for less? Plus they were showing the kids in their play room... they obviously were not lacking in toys. Maybe they too should learn to live a little less off. sigh.
