Nancy could have “hidden money” from so many possible sources, that it’s difficult to assess exactly her money is originally from and how much of it she may have. There could be money from her mother’s family, her father’s family, money her first husband may have left to her as well as money she earned herself. Nancy began her career as an Information Technology specialist during the mid-to-late 1980’s, a time when computers were relatively new to the mass market and were just beginning to become widely used by the corporate and government sectors.

Many Americans are still struggling to make ends meet. According to the Census Bureau, 104 million people. A third of all Americans have incomes below twice the poverty line. While many of these people are unemployed, many others are the working poor, people trying to support themselves with low and minimum wage jobs. The task of such workers was taken up by Barbara Ehrenreich in her 2001 book Nickled and Dimed. The book, which recounts her experiences, is important because it offers a gripping, first person account of the real difficulties faced by many Americans today. One way the book illuminates these difficulties is by showing how a full-time low wage salary isn’t enough to pay one’s living expenses. Ehrenreich begins each experiment with significant advantages over many minimum wage workers.
