Financial struggles are prevalent from "summary" of The Road To Wigan Pier by George Orwell
The economic reality of the working class is one of perpetual struggle, a relentless battle against poverty and deprivation. In the grim industrial towns of northern England, where smokestacks blot out the sky and the streets are lined with rows of dingy houses, financial hardship is an ever-present specter haunting the lives of the downtrodden. For the coal miners and factory workers who toil day in and day out, making ends meet is a constant challenge. Wages are meager, barely enough to cover the bare essentials of food, shelter, and clothing. The cost of living is high, and every penny must be carefully budgeted and accounted for. There is no room for extravagance or luxury in their world, only the harsh reality of scraping by from one paycheck to the next.
In such a harsh and unforgiving environment, the specter of unemployment looms large, a constant threat hanging over the heads of the working class like the sword of Damocles. Job security is a luxury that few can afford, as layoffs and factory closures are commonplace occurrences in the industrial heartland. Without a steady source of income, families are plunged into even deeper poverty, struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.
The cycle of poverty perpetuates itself, as the children of the working class are born into a world of limited opportunities and diminished prospects. Education is a luxury that few can afford, and many are forced to leave school at a young age to help support their families. The lack of access to quality education only serves to perpetuate the cycle of poverty, as the next generation is ill-equipped to break free from the shackles of financial hardship.
In the face of such overwhelming adversity, the working class is left with little hope for a better future. The road to prosperity is a long and arduous one, fraught with obstacles and pitfalls at every turn. But despite the seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them, the working class soldiers on, their resilience and determination a testament to the human spirit in the face of adversity.
