Jo the single momma 1 of 5
I am not Joe the plumber but I need his fictional salary! I am Jo the single momma trying to create a living any way I can legally to provide for my children. I may gross 20,000 this year and I would love to be making the $250,000 dollar salary of Joe the plumber.
I actually have made more this year as a freelance writer then when I did as a certified nurse’s aide in a nursing home. However, I still struggle at times; I would love more than a token joke of an economic rebate check. Mine went right on bills and not to the saving account or new stuff for my house.
The officials in
Washington talk about the shrinking middle class and those struggling to get out of poverty. I am one of the millions of single parent families who fell through the crack. I am under the poverty level, but I do have a roof over my head and I am able to put food on the table.
