She went back to school. She is not paying rent because the rental she is living is foreclosed (owner filed 4 bankruptcy) and has a child (5).
Both are struggling big time, and being forced to sell off their boats, furniture among other things that you accumulate over a lifetime. Neither will apply for aid because, 'they are to proud', or, 'are to good', for welfare.
Given the same circumstances, are YOU to proud also?
