I just heard the ad for that this afternoon. I might try to catch it if I can remember.
Call me a cynic but that review makes living on min. wage sound a lot worse than my experience has been. No it's not easy or particularly "fun" but I wonder if that isn't just cultural expectation of what life is supposed to be like. Is it supposed to be easy? Are we supposed to be able to buy what ever we want without planning , saving or bargain shopping? Are we supposed to pay for a taxi ride when walking would be free?
