[quote=Anonymous]I think you're pretty strange, OP, but I grew up "working poor" so I will answer.

Do you shop at WalMart? There wasn't one in our town. Shopped at goodwill and garage sales for clothes, and the regular grocery store.

Do you eat fast food all the time? It was a treat, so no.

How big is your home? 2 bedroom, 5 people

What do you DO on weekends? Sleep, play outside, watch tv, read (there were no computers then), go visit friends, get drunk (parents)

Where do you go on vacations? We didn't. Ever.

Do you have very few clothes? Shoes? I had two pairs of jeans to start 10th grade. That was the worst. I would alternate them. I usually had only 1 or two pairs of shoes per season.

If you're too poor to go out, what do you do to get together with friends? Go to their houses and hang out, the mall, the park.

Do you have any friends who are well off? Not really.

What do you do for fun? Why did you ask this three fracking times???

What do you think is the qualifier that makes a person poor? Sometimes does not have enough money for food.

Do your kids know you're poor? We did.

What do they do after school? Go to the library, come home, do homework. I did drill team in high school and paid for it with money from my summer/weekend job. I didn't do sports because I was bad at them.

Do they get teased in school? Yes.
