Pay The Rent

1.56 million people in the United States are homeless and around 50,000 of those people are children. According to Google, homelessness is defined as a person without a home who typically lives in the streets. This problem needs to be solved because being homeless is illegal in some states and it leads most people down the road of alcohol and drugs. The main causes of homelessness is substance abuse and not having money to pay a security deposit. The effects of this are many diseases like HIV, AIDS, or skin diseases because they are always being exposed to new things. The main impact of this problem is poor health because being homeless and not having a job doesn’t allow people to go to the doctor or buy proper

The Editors of America Magazine have also given their opinion on minimum wage as well. "Despite this shameful reality, nowhere in the United States is it possible for a full-time worker earning the minimum wage to rent a one-bedroom apartment at market rates, even two wage earners in the same household would barely bring their combined incomes above the federal poverty level of $19,157 for a family of four two adults and two children. " they informed. Mostly single mothers, are affected when it comes to the struggle to provide the basic needs for themselves and their children. More and more who work at minimum-wage jobs find themselves pushed into poverty and homelessness. When realizing the struggle required to survive on the federal minimum

Many of the people work drive cars and have a house. Many people have jobs so they can buy these things, but how many jobs do they need depending on the jobs many people have two jobs so they can afford the rent the reason is that education or the requirement to get a better job so they can work less. Many of our minimum wage jobs can’t afford most things many people in the USA get minimum wage jobs because they can’t get a better job to help with finance or the house.

A workfare job is different from a regular paying job in several ways. First of all, a client is required to have a workfare job or volunteer position to receive tanf cash, unless exempted. One significant difference that the book explains is that “welfare recipients were given jobs normally filled by city workers” (Mandell & Schram, pg. 174). These workers were “displaced by the workfare trainees” (Mandell & Schram, pg. 174). What was shocking was that the “jobs welfare beneficiaries were filling were now only being paid at a reduced rate even as little as a $1.50 an hour” (Mandell & Schram, pg. 174).

As I woke up at 7am on what was supposed one of the best days of my life, I had not idea that as the day went on it would actually turn into a disaster.

Financial literacy, defined as the understanding about individual or family finances and the application of the skills to make responsible financial decisions, is one of the progressive economic courses for individuals and families facing a financial crisis (Delgadillo, 2014). The topics investigated in this literature review include the importance of financial education for all clients, the effectiveness of financial literacy, and different approaches to financial literacy classes. The relevance to social work involves several principles from the NASW Code of Ethics, specifically service, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, social justice, and competence (Code of Ethics, 2008). Also, the NASW specifies that commitment to clients is the primary ethical responsibility for social workers (Code of Ethics, 2008). Although the literature presents the

Before my dad began working at RNR Tire Express I did not know very much about rent-to-own. I understood that it meant you rent something until you own it just by drawing conclusions. I think it is easy to find the benefit of rent-to-own in America especially in tough economic times. Nowadays it is uncommon for people to be able to pay for large, yet necessary items in one full payment. For example, new tires can be very expensive, but they are necessary in order to drive safely. Old, worn tires are a safety issue and could cause more damage to your car if they aren’t replaced. I think many Americans dread having to get new tires because it often times means spending money that they do not have. I think there are many Americans that would have to choose between new tires or paying another bill if they had to pay for their tires in full, upfront. Rent-to-own makes it possible for someone to buy a new set of needed tires without breaking the bank by allowing them to make payments. Another benefit to making payments is that usually the buyer can choose the best time for them to make their payments such as weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

good job until I resigned because of all the toxic people on Arson. The staff were extremely nice.

I have been interning with Morningstar in Sydney for almost a month. Having no previous experience in finance and business world, I consider every day at the office extremely exciting and thrilling.

I have been asked to write an essay on a Social Issue. I have chosen Homelessness. I chose this because it is a very serious issue not only here in Australia but all over the world.

So, on my first day there I imagined that I was going to read to kids, do fun crafts, and have a grand ole time. But, what really happened was that I got stuck in the back organizing books, and doing all of the boring stuff that no one wanted to do. It was, kinda fun at first but then it just became

“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” Anthony Robbins’ enriching words have acted as a framework for the type of life I want to lead. Giving back to the community can be executed in a variety of methods; I have done so through volunteerism and legislation.

The rest of the day was as bad as the beginning. Hectic, frustrating, and aggravating was a few words that could have summed up my afternoon. I went to the grocery store hoping for me to quickly pick up a few items but ended up waiting for 10 minutes in line and not even getting all the items I needed. After I packed my stuff in the trunk of my car, I rushed home to unload and drop my little brother to football practice. Then I drove a town over to my grandparents to drop them to an appointment and went to do their laundry and cook dinner. Every task was back to back; it felt like I couldn’t catch my
