Has anyone here ever lived in poverty? If so, what do/did you feel when the topic of poverty comes up?

I am living in what I consider poverty right now. But I am warm, have plenty of food if i need it, and I have clothes, even if they are old.

I really don't care when the topic comes up. Maybe because I know what it is like to live with plenty of money, so this stuff really doesn't hurt too much. Except when it hurts too much...🤣🤣🤣

I know that in about 21/2 years things will ease up, so I don't feel hopeless. I just look forward to the future!

I honestly cant say ive ever experienced poverty. And I'm thankful for that. I give to those in need especially children. I dont want to see any child grow up with less than so ive bought clothing, beds, any thing that you can think of for children in need. Every Christmas im buying toys for strangers, coats, gloves, blankets etc...there was an old man walking in my neighborhood we had a hurricane some months back i found out where he lived and took over food and supplies and my generator. I told my husband we can sit in the dark for him it may mean life or death to HIM. Im thankful to be in a position to help others.

I have. What did I feel? I can relate.

I have lived in poverty, Most of my childhood life . I only recall feeling (Less Than)

I don't know about poverty, but I have lived in some very lean years. I feel really bad when when our finances do come up. I tell very few people about it. Of the friends I have told only one has given us any help. All the others we have helped over the years just say that's too bad and avoid us.

Yes,I still do.It is unimportant.
I have a roof and food too.😃

Most of my life but i'm used to it ..

It is what it is. I lived under a bridge 8 monthes, through the winter as well
