It still amazes me to think how much basic items like diapers cost. While in Mexico and while having this expience I had come to notice the large division between the classes, and "inequality" in Mexico. Many working and middle class Mexicans have to work at least six days a week to provide themselves with money to live on. I feel this experience made me realize that although things here are expensive there are programs and ways for everyone to afford thier basic needs. I also feel that these struggles that families go through with money only makes them closer together, and that's why I love Mexico. It's because money is sometimes so scarce for some people that family and community matter more and this is unlike the US were money I feel is everything.
