Cruises are often marketed as a fun way to travel, but some passengers on major cruise lines such as Carnival and Disney have said in civil lawsuits that they were raped and assaulted while onboard, often times by crew members.

buzzfeednews.com/article/tomwar…
Documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News show that parents and guardians have also alleged their children were molested by crew members or other passengers.

buzzfeednews.com/article/tomwar…

How much does a good life cost?

In 2010, Princeton researchers said the optimal household income for happiness was $75,000 (before taxes). Adjusted for inflation, $75,000 in 2010 is about $100,000 today. buzzfeednews.com/article/veness…
A household earning $100,000 “is middle class, but where in the middle class they fall can vary drastically” depending on where they live and how many people they’re supporting, said Catie Hogan, a financial educator at Parthean. buzzfeednews.com/article/veness…

Take Cambodian American Ny Nourn, who came to the US with her mother when she was a child in the 1980s. Her only memories of the collective trauma were wisps of the hunger and cold in a Thailand refugee camp.
