A Poor Family

In a very exclusive private school near California's Silicon Valley, a third-grade teacher was lecturing her upper-high-class students about the less fortunate. She asked them each to write an essay about a poor family in the area.

One little girl's paper began, "Once upon a time there was a poor family. The father was poor. The mother was poor. The children were poor. The nannies were poor. The pool man was poor. The personal trainer was poor. The gardeners were poor... This was a very poor family!"

Sadly in that area you can be making well over 6 figures and still struggle to pay the bills. Oakland has really been hit hard with gentrification and there are a lot of people struggling.

It's all relative, I suppose and what you're used to.
A sad state of affairs though.

I loved this one.

I know someone couldn't change his Mercedes 2019 last year because of COVID effect on his financials. He was talking as if a poor guy.
