Take the Tough Choices Challenge
Families usually budget for hard costs first. Rising housing costs affect other expenses as well as food purchases. Take our Tough Choices Challenge to see how each expense is impacted.
Scenario: You are a family of four. You and your spouse are the parents to Sarah who is 9 years old and in the 4th grade, and Bryan who is 3. You work full-time as a warehouse worker and make $12/hour ($1,920 gross/month). Your spouse works as a personal care aid for $10.50/hr where Sarah goes to school. Your spouse makes $10.5/hour ($1,680 gross/month). Your family’s combined total income each month is $3,600, which is about $30,600 per year after taxes. Can you make necessary life decisions on housing, transportation, childcare and household/food needs — and not to run out of money? Take the challenge.
Now, imagine an emergency happened.
عائلتك لا تمتلك تأمينًا صحيًّا:
يبلغ متوسط تكلفة زيارة غرفة الطوارئ في تكساس 2,318 دولارًا.
يبلغ متوسط تكلفة علاج قناة الجذر في حالات الطوارئ 1,000 دولار.
حالة طوارئ تتعلق بالمركبة:
تعرضت لحادث سيارة. ويبلغ مبلغ الاستقطاع 500 دولار.
إذا تعطل المولد الكهربائي، فإن التكلفة المتوسطة تبلغ 800 دولار.
ماذا بقي في ميزانيتك؟
For many families experiencing tough choices, food insecurity becomes reality. Hard costs like rent, transportation and childcare affect food purchases because those costs have to be paid in full. Food insecurity is the result of high housing costs, low wages, limited healthcare and support. Together we can advocate for #changeforbetterlives. Sign up to Take Action.
