Middle Class Political Stance
My dearest friend, life here has been incredibly overwhelming. My husband, Gilbert, a self made businessman made our life comfortable by making his money through the family paint/art industry. This industry has been in his family for decades and recently we found out that his most precious possession might be going bankrupt. My family is pure turmoil. The paint market is clogged and he has invested a lot of money in stocks that have not been doing well in any means. We have dug ourselves deep in a hole of debts because of this flaccid economy. Gilbert is doing everything in his power to keep his family business alive, but our family is ultimately suffering. These past few months have hit us hard, and we are running out of ideas to keep his business open. After all, we need to survive.
