Budgeting played a very heavy role for Alex and Morgan in their 30 days of living off minimum wage. It was able to help them plan what they needed to in order to make it through those days without something happening that could be detrimental to them. Without it, they may not have been able to afford what they needed and their amenities. It was a necessary action for them to take so they could live as best/successfully as they could without running out of money.
11. Observe how easy it was for Morgan and Alex to get into an argument over finances. What is the underlying feeling that you think it at the cause of the conflict?
Alex and Morgan were able to get into arguments very easily over finances due to their situation. I think being in a situation like that is very stressful, and both people are kind of at a loss for what to say or do. That being said, tensions run very high under pressured situations, so just one little thing could ignite the fire and set them into an argument. Also, not knowing what to do or what will come next because they're living week by week, puts stress on them and a little bit of panic as well. It can be hard to keep calm in situations like they were in, so arguments are much more easy to come by.
