[quote=Anonymous]I grew up middle class in an upper middle class area, and was so poor I was on food stamps and was excused from having to pay the fine for not having Obamacare because I was too poor to pay for it. I am currently less poor but still poor enough I am campaigning the company I work at to allow people to cash out their vacation time if they don't want to take it.

It's mostly fine - I always knew I was going to struggle to be middle class.  Other people go out with friends to see a movie and then get drinks. I go see the matinee and sneak a bottle of water in by hiding it in my purse.  I'm the only one of my relatives (on both sides of the family) who has never left the country. It's actually most frustrating when I go to a party thrown by rich relatives. Because they all stand around agreeing how much better Italy was than France, and making plans to do the Kentucky bourbon trail, or comparing their Tieks, and I'm ... just listening and asking questions, until I can no longer fake giving a shit about stuff I'll never experience. Then I go play with the dog, or a baby. :) [/quote]
