- k__ 7y agoHm, I mostly stagnated depressively in front of the TV when I was poor.
- Tade0 7y agoPerhaps you were unemployed as well. I had (have, actually) a job, but due to absolutely hilarious (in hindsight of course) circumstances had to spend most of my money on a room I got via AirBnB. I even started a technical blog: https://wringing.it/ https://wringing.it/ But I may not be poor enough anymore to continue writing it.

- Proziam 7y agoPressure of any kind is my best motivator as well. A serious deadline to hit with significant consequences (the consequences don't even have to be mine necessarily) often gets the best work out of me.
- pmiller2 7y agoPeople get really creative when they have constraints placed on them, in general. Poverty is a pretty strong constraint on a lot of things.
