There is a lot of poverty in my familial as well as personal background. Lots of beans, rice and potatoes. Couldn't afford new shoes so my siblings ended up with deformed feet. you replaced them when the buttoms fell out. My mother and father worked minimum wage in the 90s and early 2000s and supported 3 kids and our disabled grandmother. my paternal grandparents were subsistence farmers in the '50s and '60s in Georgia, my maternal side were farmers in Ohio... i was always fed and taken care of, but it's not like i don't know what working poor is. of course there are always folks who are worse off than me.</blockquote>
