Well as a child at one point we were very poor my dad was blinded on the job & mom was a sahm back then it was almost not even an option women just stayed home yay know so things got tight at one point & at another time we were pretty well off & to be honest I think the whole family was happier poor!! When my dad started his business & after a few years it really took off thats when alot of problems began. And my parents ended up divorced.

And for my own family & since becoming an adult I would say when I first started off I was poor a single mom with no help from dds dad or anyone else just myself working to support her & now I am married & dh makes a good salery & I am working again I think I was happier when I just started out & I think I was probably pretty poor then but never felt like I was dont get me wrong I love my whole family very much but think if we were poor again we would be happier!!

I would also like to add I have never felt poor not one day in my life I only look back thinking geez we were poor but at the time never thought anything of it & thanks to boards like these the last few years when things were tight they never felt like they were this board gave me hope!! I would also like to say as long as you have a roof & family or friends & some food you will never be POOR.
