Review of eBook
When Peter is notified [along with everyone else] that the monthly Universal Basic Income to be deposited into everyone’s account had risen to $324.900, he and his wife, Jane, realize that this large increase means the cost of everything will rapidly rise to more than three times the current cost.
This was bad . . . they were hardly holding on now. Can their little family find a way to survive an economy that just kept making things harder and harder?
Or is it time for them to put their backup plan into play?
=========
One of the author’s many short story singles, “Payday� follows Peter and his family as they struggle to make ends meet in an ever-more-dire economy. Readers may find this story to be of special interest, given recent inflation issues.
Although there is minimal character development, readers are certain to empathize with Peter and his family. The telling of this tale keeps readers involved, turning those pages as fast as possible.
