It is me and my boyfriend to a T. We have gone through everything that is listed. I even sent the URL to my mom, the one with money, who wonders why her daughter "chooses to be poor". I wish more people could read this, and I will send this to every one in my family so they too can see what it's like. Thank you so much for such a great journey into the life of a poor person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12131438.post-1175580708332980542007-04-02T23:11:00.000-07:002007-04-02T23:11:00.000-07:00Wow. I almost cried when I read that blog entry because this is the story of my life. Now that I am a college student about to graduate from the University of North Florida, I still can't even get a checking account anywhere and have to go to the check cashing place to cash my pathetic checks. I have one of the highest grades in my Biochemistry class but outside of classroom I check the change collector of soda machines that I puchase soda from and I go to homeless shelters sometimes to eat. My parents were dirt poor and with my dad locked up for life and my mom being mentally handicapped, it was statistically unlikely that I was to even attend college. Thank you so much for your post it means so much more than you will ever know.petershowersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12131438.post-1163252652462963592006-11-11T05:44:00.000-08:002006-11-11T05:44:00.000-08:00Very insightful- makes you want to cry doesnt it when you spell it outlike that. So much money in this country- in the world! - and yet people are suffering for lack of a $20 bill. Vote socialist next time - not corporate shill. America was founded as a socialsit country- WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES- what does that mean - our first declaration to the world is a socialsit manifesto - and the greedy imperialist have turned "socialist" into a dirty word- the world shall pass away in a greedy attempt to transform humans into corporate tools before greed will relent in its attempt to prevent a socialist animal- the human being - transforming into its higher good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
