Reply #30: When you are poor [View All]

[Jeanette in FL]

Nothing else dominates your thoughts than what you are going to do next. You are not interested in politics or education or health or anything. You think about how are you going to feed your family, how are you going to pay your bills, what if the car breaks down, what if anyone in the family gets sick. When you are poor, you lose any power in your life, you become a slave to the system.

Once you have money to meet your essential needs, money becomes irrelevant. You move on to what you would like to have.

Many of us have been poor. It will never leave your soul. You will always remember what those days were like.
