Pay day

milestones in latino history

sun 11/16/2008

 

Monday, April 15, 1994. Miguel "MG" Gonzalez gets a $400 payday loan from his neighborhood check cashing spot so he can buy the 27-inch TV he's been fantasizing about for days.

Two weeks later, while straightening out a few wrinkled green bills for the rent, he realizes his payday loan is also due.

A month later, "MG" has moved back to his parent's house. Lying down on his childhood bed, squinting at Sammy Sosa at bat on a tiny black-and-white TV, he hears his mother call out: "Mijo, ¿cómo funciona el remote? ¡No entra mi novela!"
