Since Sonny has a fixed income per month, he has been using his credit card to make ends
meet. Although he pays the minimum required by the credit card company each month, his
credit card debt is rising at an alarming rate. He knows that he is not clear on where all of his
money is going but he is glad to be able to share expenses with his roommate, Tony. He does
have a small amount of savings, but he is not sure it is enough if an emergency were to occur.
