Everyone has problems, and these days, money seems to be at the top of the list, for most. It's true that some have more money than they need or know what to do with, but for most of us, it is just the opposite.
Day after day, the bills keep coming and there never seems to be enough to go around. Pay a little here, a little on that one, and hope they don't want more.
The world, as a whole, seems to be broke(at least 90%) and anyone that is picky about taking what work they chance to find, is out of their mind. As the saying goes: Beggars can't be chosers, is truer now than it was 20 years ago, but we need only to read a history book to find out WE are NOT the first...
Not matter what year, it is never easy and NOT much comfort to know, that EVERY generation has had the same problems, and ALWAYS the lack of money was at the top of the list.
Here, in the United States we have many welfare or relief programs(often abused) to help out when times get tough, but back during the GREAT DEPRESSION, there were none...People were desperate and dying, with nowhere to go and nobody to help. During that time people were riding the rails(illegally), going anywhere, just to find work...of ANY kind. It was that... or starvation...
I'm sure we have all seen a cowboy movie or two, but few have any idea what a hard life that was, back in the 1800s. Life was nothing like the clean cut cowboy we know from Hollywood. Nothing at all...
The average cowboy was generally homeless and constantly moved from place to place looking for a job, that often payed no more than a roof over his head and food in his belly. It was that...or starvation...
We have come a long way, technically speaking, but some problems remain consistent , and like the ones that came before us, we will struggle and make it though the day, one way or another. It's like walking: One foot in front of the other...
