“We’re young, diverse, married couples with and without children, and single parents. You
can find us in urban areas, mostly in the Midwest and South. We’re struggling. Limited
education holds us back from obtaining good jobs. Those who do work have jobs in service,
manufacturing and retail. Buying sale items in bulk and generic instead of brands helps
stretch our shopping dollars. Kids are our focus; baby and children’s products are regular
purchases. We also buy from an in-home sales rep and watch QVC or HSN. There’s no extra
money to save or invest. BET, MTV and Game Show Network are favorite TV channels;
gospel, R&B, rap and hip-hop are on our radios.”

work for a college or its supporting

busy with our studies ut make
time for part-time jobs, ports and
socializing. Managing our ow
money is new to us, so we tend
to splurge on impulse purchases,

can be influenced by celebrity

and cell phones are major in our
lives; we go online for everything:
schoolwork, shopping, news,

We’re excited to be on our own for
