I Hate To See The Poverty In My Country

There is so much of it too but people walk through their lives wearing blinkers, ignoring the injustices happening within the UK right now.

I speak from experience, I live in poverty. I live in a one bed flat with a housing association with a part-time job which pays above the national average, while doing a part-time degree with the aim of bettering myself and getting myself out of this survival.

I have never been at all materialistic, living frugally and by my means. My only expenditure this month that wasn't a necessity was a night out with my friends. My rent and council tax is cheap and I've chosen my suppliers with care, finding the best and cheapest for my situation.

And yet, I am utterly broke and it is three weeks until payday.
