Agree. The area I live in is a relatively low income, blue collar, working class area. Towards the end of the month in particular, you see people unloading their kids bikes, lawnmowers, TV's etc. at the local pawn shops. These are mostly people needing a few bucks til payday. The first week of the month you will see people retrieving the stuff.
On the other hand, how does a person make a living when he has pawned all his tools (which the shops here seem to have an abundance of)?
