Some think that being poor is simple. You don’t have enough money to buy a lot of stuff, so you’re forced to buy less stuff. But that’s not really how it works. When you’re broke, you can’t do all the little things that will improve your budget over the long run. It actually costs more to be poor.

George Orwell talks about this in "Down and Out in Paris and London."

Been there. Done that. It sucked.

God took care of me, in ways I never expected. But it taught me that my life is His, not mine.

Eventually, He got me a job ... things quit sucking so bad ... but I haven't forgotten. It's all God's. Not mine.
