[quote=Anonymous]*Not enough pillows to go around. (my sisters and I now have beds full of pillows) *Shared beds, not just bedrooms. *I started mowing lawns at 12 so I could have money for the movies or candy. *At 13 I babysat, mowed lawns, and did other odd jobs so I could buy clothes and go out with friends. *Had utilities shut off in winter *Didn't have enough coats to go around in the winter. My dad gave us his old overcoats but he would need to take them back on court days. We weren't poor until I was in 6th grade. That's when my dad lost his job and he majorly switched careers. He went from being an executive to CPS worker. My mom followed him when she lost her job. Together they made next to nothing but they found their work rewarding and stayed there until they retired. As a teen though I would get a little mad that they were out there saving children and not making enough to really support their own kids.[/quote]
