[quote=Anonymous]I was poor growing up, but am not poor now.

Do you shop at WalMart? - No.  I grew up in a city.  There wasn't one.
Do you eat fast food all the time? No, I didn't.  It's cheaper to eat at home, and it isn't good for you.
How big is your home? - One bedroom apt.  Mom, dad and 2 kids.  Parents slept on a sleeper sofa in the living room.
What do you DO on weekends? Go to parks, the library etc.
Where do you go on vacations? To my great aunt's house in the country.  It was free and pretty, and she was really nice.  
Do you have very few clothes? Shoes? Yes, I did.
If you're too poor to go out, what do you do to get together with friends? We had people over, watched TV.
Do you have any friends who are well off? No.  Some of our extended family members were better off.
What do you do for fun? Rode my bike (second hand).  Went to the park or the library.
What do you think is the qualifier that makes a person poor? - Need to think about and evaluate almost every single purchase before making it.  
Do your kids know you're poor? - I knew I was, yes.
What do they do after school? - stayed at my grandma's house
Do they get teased in school? - not for being poor.  It was a poor school district, so most people were in the same situation.
