Teen life suffers Reaganomics hits the Region Creamer As President Reagan ' s Trickle Down economics hit the Calumet Area and Highland, it didn ' t take long for the ef- fect to also be felt by Highland students. With the steel industry in its deepest slump in years, teens found it more diffi- cult to make their money stretch over the normal expenses of their life styles. Saving became impossible for many, and though college costs loomed ahead, teens found themselves trying to cut back on entertainment and clothes, though eat- ing out with friends continued to be one of the last luxuries to go. Boys continued to spend a great deal of money on gas, and video game addicts still managed to pour as much as $50 a month into their hobby. Some Highland students expressed opinions about feeling guilty for asking for money at home, while most students agreed shoplifting increased dramatically. Some people actually got rid of bad habits such as drinking and smoking, since both rose in price in the tight economy. Unfor- tunately, not all teens felt the need to stop spending their money for these things. Some teens however did feel, with the new tax on cigarettes, the habit wasn ' t worth getting into or keeping up. Many Highland students expressed ca- reer decisions based on pure economics. When asked if they would choose a career they liked or one which paid more, most teens opted for the higher paying, less personally satisfying jobs. Was it a hard year? Yes, but many agreed it was also a good year for learning some basic facts of life and budgeting. Big Mac Attackers. Char Crnkovich, Bill Bacon, and Ed Freeman know how hard it is to always keep giving a break to someone else for the day — but money helps. 20 Money Crunch
