Discuss the obstacles faced by the working poor as illustrated in this book, and research the cost of living for a single parent of two children in the city of Tampa, Florida while working a minimum wage job. For example, how much is an apartment? Utilities? Bus fare? Health care? Food? Clothes? Opening a bank account? Your essay should also address how being poor is paradoxically expensive for those struggling to get by.
