I wrote a few days ago about being "poor" in America. Here's a "poor" family -- and until they smarten up, I see little chance that their financial situation will improve.
Kris and Jim Fallon live in Palatine, Illinois. Neither has had a job in over two years. They've lost their house and their car. Kris cries and says, "It's like there is no way out." Oh -- did I mention they have a 4-month old baby? As long as they keep making stupid decisions like that, she's right -- there is no way out!
Incidentally, the article doesn't say, but who do you suppose paid for birthing that baby?
