I felt anxious, desperate and sick. Is not a good picture. This was only a glimpse of what it really is. Not even a 1-% of the real deal on being poor. BUT SCARY, for the first time I felt hopeless and useless. I said to me, please God not again. This excerpt deserves a proper response, but I've not yet had my caffeine this morning. Will you do the honors?

I was typing a response and didn't see yours until now. LOL
Dude spent his entire paycheck by Wednesday and thinks he knows what it's like to be poor. For all we know he spent it stuffing bills into a stripper's g-string.
If he looked around on the sidewalks for change for an HOUR, he could pretty much have walked all or part of his way home.
Me? I know what it's like to be REAL broke. I lived out of the contents of my change jar on a regular basis, for a while. The deli on the corner didn't need to go to the bank for change for months.
