[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Credit cards, Sliding scale doctors and maybe some other expenses like mortgage etc is less (or they rent) [/quote] I mean poor poor, not fake poor but actually solidly middle class. No mortgage. No new car. No college degree. Crummy job. Struggling to pay bills. Yet one or two kids in braces. The money just doesn’t add up. [/quote] How do you know how much money these folks make?[/quote] Because they get a fee waiver to play in my daughter's league. Because I see them working part-time at the grocery store. Because some of them tell me they aren't currently employed. You know, things like that.[/quote] Then, they are on medicaid and medicaid pays. Or, they are on a payment plan or a relative is paying. There are also other kid health/dental plans that are low cost that parents may be paying.[/quote]
