one lounge one gd and one in ask admin (with skinner)

pimping the creation of 'working poor'
c'mon how many here does this affect?

yes i know the frugal group exists, but that's 'we want to live cheap by choice'
it's not the same as 'you don't have a choice at all'

1. Yes, yes, a thousand times Yes!!!

I would really love a group like this. We could pin threads with resources and advice at the top, and it would feel amazing to be able to know that the other group members really "get it". If you want or need help, I volunteer in every way!

14. okay throws some of that your way n/t

15. Suggested Statement of purpose for the group

-----------------------------
Statement Of Purpose of The Working Poor Room


This is a safe haven designed for Working Poor and people interested in Working Poor, but supportive of us only. Criticism of Working Poor or of their lives and jobs are not permitted in this room. If you wish to criticize Working Poor there is always GD.

If you post criticism of Working Poor you will be blocked from this room without warning.

The hosts of this room don't like blocking but we dislike disruption even more. Our primary concern is for Working Poor to have a place to discuss their problems without having to deal with 'ideas', 'suggestions' and similar from people that have never been Poor, Working Poor, or Without Means (I.E. clueless about the topic).

Disruptions include:
"Just get a better job."
"Just eat rice and beans."
"That's what you get for not going to college." Quite a few Working Poor actually did.
"Just move elsewhere."


If you get blocked or have been it is not personal. There is no reason why we in this room need to be disrupted.

And please do not post in this thread to complain about our Statement Of Purpose.


Thank you,

Some of us are posting already. We didn't know who the creator was

You should be the main host. There are none.
