This is funny. If you’re black this is called “ghetto “ but you’re white you’re just…..poor…more than half of yall literally lived this life. Stay humble.

I would trade everything now for those days, again because the one thing I will always have that means more to me than money is my relationship with my lord and savior Jesus

We ate cereal with a fork so we could save the milk. When we changed underwear, I changed with my brother and he changed with my sister. We were so poor, my sister had to stay pregnant just so we had milk in the house.😂😂😂

Always filled up the name brand boxes with generic. Reduced shower time. Clothes line to dry. Baked bread, not store bought. Shared butchered meat with neighbors. Hand-me-downs. No field trips. Taught how to work on house and car and took ALOT of shortcuts. Bologna bowls. Hunting with friends and family and be willing to dress.

growing up with money makes weak characters. growing up without much makes you come back stronger because you had to deal with problems before so your ready for most things to happen.

what's worse? growing up knowing you're poor, or growing up thinking you're poor and finding out your parents actually had money later on in life. they were just alcoholics and bad at management. like I grew up on sandwiches, I don't think I really had too many normal meals. after I became an adult I went back and looked at what my parents were doing for work and all this other stuff. these mfers were upper middle class. but living like they were in poverty. like both parents were pulling 7K a month easily back in the early '90s, which is basically like 13,000 now.
