Q1 - "Very little, I mean, I don't work or anything, but my parents don't give me as much money so I can't supply my habits like smoking and eating quite as well."
Q2 - "Not really, my parents pay for it."
Q3 - "Well, I don't smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day anymore because I can't afford them."
Q4 - "There just needs to be some type of program, I really don't know any way to describe it, they just need to help people. The best way I can put is if someone's struggling, lend a hand. Why wouldn't you? We're all American citizens. The American spirit, in my eyes, is to help one another and live your life!"

Q1 - "Well it's sort of obvious, I mean, things are a little bit tighter. I'm just having to portion out my money a little bit more and adjust family stuff as well."
Q2 - "I'm not a student so I don't have to worry about college, but I have a 5-year-old daughter who isn't old enough yet, but if she were I would have a problem. I don't think it would be easy."
Q3 - "Basically, I pay more attention when I'm shopping at the grocery store. I'll think about things a little bit more. I tend to be holding on to money a little bit more."
Q4 - "There are a lot of people that are hungry, so they need to work on that. I know there's something called the gleaning network, it's in North Texas, like Dallas, but it would be good if they did that. What they do is take food like excess produce, and I'm not exactly sure how they do it, but they distribute it out. I would think there would be a way to figure that out because apparently food banks are being stretched to the limit. There are a lot of really hungry people, and I think they should start with that first, but that's me personally,"

Q1 - "The biggest effect I've noticed is every time we go to the grocery store, the prices fluctuate so we are really careful about price-checking before we go to the grocery store and try to use coupons."
Q2 - Not a college student
Q3 - "I don't do as much frivolous shopping as I used to."
Q4 - "I think that if anything was going to help people that it should have been done through the their tax returns this year. They should have had some kind of stimulus to boost the economy."
