Am I in the right spot?
(baby crying)
There we go.
It's kind of awkward.
(upbeat music)
I would say I'm really striving
to be middle class, but I don't know if I am quite yet.
I live on campus with

What does $100 mean to you?
$100 means food for a week.
A hundred bucks means

Before I had kids, I didn't grocery shop.
Having kids now, is (laughs) crazy at times.

Money means getting by.
Are you guys unemployed?

Starving artists sort of thing, I think, yeah.
My parents are extremely tight
with money, yes.
Do you feel like you're the same?
No.
Yes, I collect Social Security.
Not near enough, by the way.
I get $1,100 a month, puts me pretty close to,

that definitely causes stress.
I don't think I'm good with money at all.

Are you serious?
Are you gonna (laughs),
It's kinda like,
