The author's attitude to the topic

“The New Nomads: Living Full-Time on the Road” by Jessica Bruder presents several attitudes towards less well-off Americans and the nomadic lifestyle. For instance, Bruder’s attitude towards the new nomadic lifestyle in the US is generally sympathetic:

They are driving away from the impossible choices that face what used to be the middle class. Decisions like: Would you rather have food or dental work? Pay your mortgage or your electric bill? Make a car payment or buy medicine? Cover rent or student loans? Purchase warm clothes or gas for your commute? (ll. 14-18)

Bruder, who has experienced the nomadic lifestyle herself while documenting her book, seems to understand the struggles of nomads and the difficult choices their poor financial situation forces them to make.
