Are These Actual Miles

Toni would go to the grocery and put in everything she saw. “I had to do without when I was a kid,” she says. “These kids are not going to do without,” as if he’d been insisting they should.”

I think this is a quote that reveals one of the teams in the story. Toni and Leo represent the young parents that I trying to offer the most to their children even if they don’t have the money to do it. In this quote, Toni is trying to justify to herself that she needs to spend so much for her children.

“They buy what they want. If they can’t pay, they charge. They sign up”

This couple really represents today’s young couples or people with less education that live day by day with their money. As soon as they can offer themselves something they do it. But, they don’t think at all about the future. And when it finally hits on them it really does.
