1) I believe that Morgan and Alex's budgeting was good, however, it could have been better. At first, Morgan and Alex struggled to live life on minimum wage. They ate rice and beans for at least a week and a half, they slept on the floor, and their little place became full of ants. After they discovered that they could have furniture and clothes for free, their way of life started to pick up. However, during work, Morgan hurt his wrist and Alex had problems of her own and they both went to the emergency room. After the thirty days had passed, they had around $800 in debt. I understand that Morgan´s wrist was swollen, that being said, Morgan should not have gone to the emergency room especially considering the fact that all he received was an ace bandage that he could have bought at CVS for only $20. If Morgan had bought a bandage at CVS for $20, they could have saved around $500 which in their case, would have helped them tremendously.
12) Morgan and Alex were experiencing things they had never experienced before. They went from living a lavish lifestyle as millionaires to the constant grind as minimum wage workers. Throughout the 30 days, stress was eating away at both Morgan and Alex. When the kids visited them during the weekend, Morgan spent all of the money that they had worked so hard for in one day. Alex rightfully had a reason to be angry and she lashed out on Morgan. Alex knows that they had made a mistake spending the amount of money they did, and that just added to the amount of stress that she was already dealing with.
