Taking this challenge does allow us a glimpse of the limitations and sacrifices that people all over the state are making, but we can never really undertand that difficulty that this type of budget presents in all areas of life. As a mother of two small children, I can't imagine having to choose between dinner or medication for my children or buying necessary clothes for one child over the other when they are both growing. My family is by no means wealthy, but I do take for granted that when someone in my family needs something I don't hesitate to provide it.
