As usual Max, you have said better than I ever could.

I work 40 hours a week at Stanford
10 hours a week stocking shelves at Longs Drugs
Do secret shops whenever I can.
And.....sell stuff on e-bay.

I have, including my car, nearly $30,000.00 in debt. Most of which piled up "robbing Peter to pay Paul" during the tech boom. Back when my 450sq foot studio apartment was over $800.00 per month

I have literally $104.39 in savings. The rest is in checking 'cause I have bills to pay and a lot of debt over my head.

It is only due to the support of my now ex-boyfriend turned amazing roomate that I can keep my head above water.

I am also middle class.....if you go by my wages. But I feel ignored and unimportant to those in power. I am one of the working class. The hard working class. And my voice, my needs, go completely unnoticed.
