Certainly Joe and Mary must shoulder some of the responsibilities for their economic problems. However, they also influenced by society
For instance, American society in general puts great pressure on all consumers to “BUY NOW” and pay later whether they can afford to spend the money or not.
Joe and Mary
Joe and Mary you may remember declared bankruptcy. Under the court-supervised payment plan they are slowly paying off their debts, including those acquired by the birth of their second child. Both Joe and Mary resent not being able to buy new things. It seems as if every cent of Joe’s salary must be used for the old debts they wish he could get a better job. At one time Joe investigated going back to school to qualify for a market manager position. But he would need to spend two years in school. Mary could not earn enough to
support the family during those two years. Instead of returning to school, Joe takes a second job as a night watchman. He is also tried when he comes home that the least little noise is irritating. He finds himself constantly yelling at the children to be quiet or at Mary to make them be quiet. Why, he wonders, did he get married in the first place? Mary sometimes wonders the same thing.
Questions for Discussion
1. Are Joe and Mary alone to blame for their money problems? Why or why not?
2. Could they have waited before making major purchases? Why didn’t they wait?
3. Could they have postponed children for years in order to get on their feet financially? Do you think this would have been a good idea?
4. In the wealthiest nation in the world, how could this couple have been economically problems?
