Exactly, but most often I have seen widows of men who must have been making between 250-750k per year screaming that they have been living paycheck to paycheck and that that Red Cross has not helped them out. It is a little difficult for me to understand how someone making that kind of cash could not have any savings. Wednesday night on the factor Bill mentioned a family that had already received 90k and it was not enough. Where is the self-responsibility?
The families of the secretaries, waiters, busboys and tour guides should not be shafted in this deal just because their loved one was not rich. They should also be taken care of but what bothers me is that the wives of the firemen, tour guide and janitor are not the ones on Fox News crying about how they had to live paycheck to paycheck and the Red Cross will not bail them out.
And I know for a fact that living in the metro NYC area is a heck of a lot more expensive than living in Texas.
NYC in very expensive but here in Austin modest three bedroom houses are selling for 350k to 500k and downtown lofts are going for between 400k and 1.2 million.
WOW! Why so expensive? That's ridiculous. For that kind of money you can still buy a house one block back from the Gulf in my old hometown of Sarasota (I moved downunder 18 years ago).
