Yeah, it’s not real fun to budget. It certainly is a different feeling, isn’t it?

I remember when I joined a tour long ago, I met my good friend. I'm not sure whether the way I spent money at that time was considered too much for her, but one day when we were in a small town I couldn't use my card and couldn't find an open Bank, so my cash was very limited to shop. Suddenly she told me this "Now you know how does it feel to be poor." Ori’s last blog post..Blog Action Day: Can We End Poverty?

@ Natural

I also remember having to sit in the principal’s office because I would not ask my mother for a quarter so I could watch a move in the auditorium. I figured we were too poor to even afford a quarter and I was not going to further burden my mother. Poor is definitely a state of mind to some. Relative right?

we grew up poor and i didn't know we were poor until i was 26 or 27 and not living at home. and my mom had to tell me. poor can be a state of mind...for some. wow, i got free lunch in school, but we didn't have different colors to let other people know we were poor. wow Natural’s last blog post..Why Poverty?

It speaks loudly about character doesn’t it?
