Socioeconomic Diversity

I thought learning about socioeconomic diversity was very important, especially in a time like this. When talking about the meaning of money, everyone has a different view. I think this is very important and can be the cause of some stress in families. I know in my family my dad is all about security. He tries only to get the items that are necessary and puts lots into savings and investments. My mom uses money more for enjoyment. She is not one to go out and buy tons of new items or go on huge trips, but she likes to travel and be able to use the money when it is necessary. I think she knows security is huge as well though, becuase she doesn't need the finer things in life. My parents are struggling greatly with this current market. They bought a new home 5 months ago, before selling the old one. They haven't been able to sell the old one or even have any takers. At 6 months, they will have to pay 2 mortgages which will be a huge hard ship for them. So we all have our fingers crossed that it sells SOON!!!
