i think this is the sign of an inadequate safety net. i also grew up poor with a single parent who could not work until us children were old enough to be able to be at home without supervision. so we had to rely on government support. now i am not exactly well off either. but i never felt i was financially insecure even when i was low on money. that safety net is always there, and having experienced it, i am comfortable trusting it.
