This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Amber Duncan, founder of Life After Debt. It has been edited for length and clarity. Before I declared bankruptcy, I thought I was doing everything right. My husband, Ryan, and I both worked in the mortgage industry. We had about a year's worth of living expenses in savings, and about 40 rental properties that were generating cash flow.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jhalesa Seymour, founder of Salt.XO. It has been edited for length and clarity. My mom raised five kids on a $30,000 salary. We never wanted for anything. Now that I'm a mom of two boys, who are 1 and 5, I don't know how she did it. When I was in college, I was offered a teaching job that paid about $30,000. Although it was what my mom had raised a family on, I knew I needed more. My mom always exposed me to a better way of life.

3人の子どもを育てるエリー・ドイルさんは、アメリカのフロリダ州からコネチカット州に引っ越した。 ドイルさんによると、フロリダの学校では図書館の本棚が一部空いたままになっていた。特定の書籍が撤去されるなどしているからだ。 コネチカット州では、学校に多様性が見られるという。 ※この記事はエリー・ドイルさんへの取材をもとに聞き書き、編集したものです。 わたしはフロリダ州マイアミで生まれ育ったけれど、自分の子どもをここで育てたいとは思わない。その気持ちはパンデミックをきっかけに、さらに強まった。フロリダがいよいよおかしくなったと感じたのはこの頃だ。フロリダは新型コロナウイルス感染症（COVID-19）の感染予防措置を義務付けないことで有名だった。わたしには腎不全を抱えている家族がいた（わたしが腎臓を提供した）ので、わたしたちは特に感染には気を付けなければならなかった。フロリダで生活することがものすごく危険で、怖いと感じたわたしたちは、一時的にサウスカロライナ州に引っ越すことにした。政治の保守化が進み、攻撃的になっていく様子も見ていた。...

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ellie Doyle. It has been edited for length and clarity. I was born and raised in Miami, but I don't want to raise my kids in Florida.

My sister was in kidney failure, and I donated my kidney to her, so we needed to be extra cautious.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Nick Parker. It has been edited for length and clarity. Any parent knows that having a flexible job is important. You might need to stop working at a moment's notice to go pick up a sick kid or be home for two weeks while the stomach flu works its way through the family. For me, this is even more important. I've got three kids and they all have autism. My son, 9, didn't speak for a long time, but with early intervention, he's thriving.
