Right now, I have $4.00 in my checking account. I don’t have money for food. We get good stuff, we get milk, eggs. Hopefully, it keeps coming.

“I just retired from the DMV. I was working for 15 years, almost, and I used to work for the Superior Court. I’ve had really good jobs, but now I can’t even survive. I’m barely making it. I have a good retirement and my Social Security. I’m 67. But when you pay over $3,800 just for your rent, you don’t have money, and I have a car payment and insurance. It’s over $4,000. It’s really, really hard. Right now, I have $4.00 in my checking account. And I have to go get medication. I don’t have money for food. I get food bank. Hopefully, it keeps coming. We get good stuff, we get milk, eggs. But it’s getting to be less and less and less and more and more people.”
