- drivebyhooting 3y agoWho is to say what is real? I grew up in a 3rd world country in what most Americans would call poverty. Was that more real than living a middle class life in Montana? I’m just giving my personal perspective: I have assumed substantial responsibilities with long term duration and liability. A precipitous drop in income would be cataclysmic. Move somewhere else indeed! How is that not destroying the life we’ve built so far?
