'It is like living in a rabbit hutch' She often said metaphorically, and He replied with a shrug. Nothing to say in reply. It was;and it would take long enough to pay for. Eight-floors up. Looking over the street below, now starting to become busy with traffic... They had lived with his parents for a time, and then after they were married in a small rented flat in The City, before they needed to afford somewhere to live together, and to bring-up their two small children. The home was bought with a loan, a promissory note, deposited and co-lateraled together with the home itself. They were afloat. Both worked to pay-off the loan, which although it was supposed to reduce each year did not seem ever to keep up with pay and prices. If they managed to keep paying-off the loan for the shelter from the storm, as a song, as they called Home. That they did not now own, and may not ever actually own, lose-lose. To sell-back at Market Price, the difference between the paid-back buying-price and selling-price, of which they would have lost completely to The Bank...The Mortgage Company.

Each like a backwards step. Worked to pay off the loan on the house and to pay for food and bills and extras, clothes, and nights out, occasionally. Maybe once a month, or not at all. Then He had been laid-off work at The Bakery. Three-day-week, and three days wages. It has been said that love of money is the root of (many) evil(s) and a wandering from the path which has brought-upon us much pain. The lack (need) of money is so quite as truly.
