Q1: “My parents support me so how they have been able to provide for me in the past is not exactly what they are able to do for me now. They are struggling to pay for school for me now, when they used to be able to just give me anything. We were all spoiled with our money, but now we are really frugal with what we spend”
Q2: “Yes! My parents are having a hard time putting up the money because they have gotten pay cuts in their jobs. My mom has her own business so she is struggling to get clients, because nobody has money to pay for anything. Now they barely have money for my school.”
Q3: “I have but not like I should have. Well I had to get a job, that was a big thing, and I have been more conscientious of what I’m spending my money on and everything is so expensive I feel like all the money disappears. With gas being so expensive and that I have to buy that, and I have to buy groceries so there goes that money. So I don’t have money to just go shopping anymore.”
Q4: “Well I’m not a genius I really don’t know what should be done. I have no idea how to fix this. If I knew I would be right up on that.”
Q1: “I’m dependent on my parents and they are making less money right now and it’s causing problems for my family right now, and it is making it difficult to pay for tuition. I’m trying to look for a job right now to help them out.”
Q2: “It’s not really in my hands, but it limited my school choices”
Q3: “Definitely a lot less spending on things that aren’t necessities. I still have to pay for necessities like groceries, so it cut out a lot of my fun like anything recreational. I don’t go out as much or go eat out anymore; instead I have to cook a lot more.”
Q4: “I think more jobs need to be created because a lot of people have lost their jobs. People need to be spending more money instead of saving to create more jobs.”

Q1: “It honestly has not affected me.”
Q2: “I personally don’t think the economy has affected me because I already had a job before the economy took a major hit, and due to the fact that I don’t pay for my college tuition, it hasn’t affected how I pay for school.”
Q3: “Yeah. Prices are going up and I have to save more money to pay for everything. I use a lot of my old clothes rather than buying new things. I don’t buy water because I have a water fountain. I don’t buy snacks because I don’t need them and can’t pay for them. I actually stopped buying and drinking soda.”
Q4: “The government should create more jobs and security because people need jobs to pay for their bills and security since people can’t pay their bills they turn to robbing other to get by. Since the economy is bad we need more security to keep from being robbed. It is a proven fact that there is more crime since the economy has gone bad.”
