The recession has drstroyed my whole family.I lost everything in 2003 because my husband had a undiagnoised brain tumor.Since then I lost friends; family members.People don't want to have anything to do with poor people.People associate each other with class; what class you are classified as is what class society puts you in.I went from upper middle class to almost homeless.In society today it doesn't matter what you had and were;its what you have now that counts.
