I think something people are missing here, though is that when you’re poor you work multiple jobs and commute into the city you work in but can’t afford to live in. You don’t have time to cook many nights so while you may want good healthy cheap food, you settle for the faster meal.
BAM. Being poor truly sucks.
- linkmotif 8y agoMy family was on welfare growing up. Most literally. We found time to make food that was cheap and nutritious (dry beans, dry lentils, cheap chicken parts). That’s how we got out of poverty. It’s the only way out of poverty. Saying something is difficult isn’t constructive, productive or particularly interesting.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoCongratulation on getting out of poverty. That truly is something to be proud of. Do not, however, assume that your story is the story of thousands of others. Doing so isn't constructive or productive and could be harmful.
- linkmotif 8y agoIt does go both ways. That’s true.
