    This is something I never understood, either. My hubby’s ex has nothing, but insists the children have cell phones. Now the bill is $900 and she’s crying because she can’t pay it. What happend to lights and water and groceries? I guess they see themselves in a hole they can never get out of, so why not live it up?

    Not just the ports, in southern Louisiana we have bountiful oil in the Gulf. My husband makes his living hauling this oilfield equipment, sometimes across the country. In addition, because trucking jobs are relatively plentiful and require little education, it’s easy to be a truck driver. The South is not known for its educational system, especially Louisiana. The really ambitious ones don’t work for someone else – they own their own truck(s) and become business owners as well, as is the case with our family.
