Being Poor
Being poor is knowing exactly how much everything costs.
Being poor is getting angry at your kids for asking for all the crap they see on TV. Being poor is having to keep buying $800 cars because they're what you can afford, and then having the cars break down on you, because there's not an $800 car in America that's worth a damn. Being poor is hoping the toothache goes away. Being poor is knowing your kid goes to friends' houses but never has friends over to yours. Whatever: Being Poor

WOW - what a list! Very moving. ...and yet I am left feeling frustrated at not always knowing how to help in a way that would be inoffensive.

I have students who could have written so many items on this list.
And it is difficult to know what to do, Lux. You want people to keep their dignity. I really have no answers that apply to everyone.
