Living on the Cheap

In her reading class today, my human will
talk about the book pictured here.
I'd like to offer it as one of...

Belial's Best Book: Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, by Barbara Ehrenreich. This book will tell you THE REAL DEAL about working for minimum wage and scraping by in the States.

The author takes a journey to see what it's like for America's working poor and dooms herself to jobs at places like Walmart and Molly Maid. It's a tough life for many Americans who, although gainfully employed and contributing to society's tax base, still live below the poverty line.

Judging by all the reviews here, this is a sure hit of a non-fiction, real-life exposé (ISBN: 0805088385)

Weather: Not really sure what it's gonna be today.
Sunny? Rainy? Cloudy? Dunno.
