Hi, meet my family and me. dsfhnskjdfhd

Holy shit. Ok so as many of you know I grew up proper poor, with a drug addicted mother. I moved put when I was 18, and I am still fairly poor but I have my own money.

And every single one of these things is applicable to me. That fucks me up.

You can’t know what it is to be poor until you are. And it leaves marks on you.

me too argh

especially the food one and the gift one and short term spending one (ESPECIALLY the clothes part, because lord knows i don’t need to replace the one pair of jeans in my wardrobe even if i can afford it until they literally disintegrate off of my person!  and maybe not even then, whee duck tape!)

and that’s ridiculous bc i was barely even poor for like five minutes and it was only suburban middle class we-still-had-a-car-and-a-tv-and-a-house poor too, sigh

Yep yep yep every single one of these.
