The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor

nova-bright:

cinderella-undercover:

Hi, meet my family and me. dsfhnskjdfhd

Holy shit. Ok so as many of you know I grew up proper poor, with a drug addicted mother. I moved put when I was 18, and I am still fairly poor but I have my own money.

And every single one of these things is applicable to me. That fucks me up.

You can’t know what it is to be poor until you are. And it leaves marks on you.

me too argh

especially the food one and the gift one and short term spending one (ESPECIALLY the clothes part, because lord knows i don’t need to replace the one pair of jeans in my wardrobe even if i can afford it until they literally disintegrate off of my person!  and maybe not even then, whee duck tape!)

and that’s ridiculous bc i was barely even poor for like five minutes and it was only suburban middle class we-still-had-a-car-and-a-tv-and-a-house poor too, sigh

and by five minutes i mean six months on food stamps and 4 years of high school worth of subsisting on ramen and soda and mashed potatoes... but mashed potatoes are excellent so it all worked out in the end! lol but my dad actually still gets mad at me for buying bananas bc we're so used to having to buy shit that can't spoil that is some strangely permeative shit poverty that is some strange strange bullshit cracked poverty economy class
