      wearethe99percent: I am 29 years old. I grew up in Michigan, and these issues have affected my family for my ENTIRE LIFE. My father is a skilled machinist who spent at least part of every year laid off. I have worked since I was 14. I put myself through college, and graduated at the top of my class, the first student to major in my chosen field.  After my divorce in 2006, I was hospitalized twice for suicidal depression. I am not cured, I just can’t afford treatment anymore. I haven’t had insurance since I was 18 and on my parents’ policy.  I have 5k in credit card debt from trying to move away from Michigan, in search of a better life. I do not own a house, property, or a car.  Now I am more in debt than ever. I moved to NYC in March of 2009, and was laid off from my job here in March 2010. I am still unemployed and can’t even get hired bartending or waiting tables. My $100,000 BFA with Honors is USELESS. The $14 in my bank account was borrowed from my mother, a small business development counselor back in Michigan. Believe me, she doesnt have the money to loan out in the first place.  I cant afford groceries, and I am HUNGRY. I AM SCARED.  I AM SICK. BUT I AM CLEARLY NOT ALONE.
