You made it to the end of the month, but...

Did you go into debt?

How did this exercise make you feel?

How would your life be different if you had to make these decisions for your family?

Many working families struggle to make ends meet even while working multiple jobs, and getting a better job is not always easy.

Some choices have consequences that could have a lasting impact, and sometimes, there are no good options.

Imagine the stress of knowing that one medical bill, one car repair, or missing a few day's pay could cause you to miss your utility or rent payment and set you on a downward spiral. Where would you turn?

We welcome your comments on our Poverty Simulator. Feel free to send them to info@foxvalleyunitedway.org.

Consider a donation to help turn the downward spiral upward for struggling families in your community.
