[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people shopping at Walmart and eating fast food are probably not the poorest or the poor, they at least have $ to spend, I'm pretty sure if you are truly poor you would forgo the q-tips so you can buy food 
I have family that is poor, they get a lot of food from a church near them (they wont accept it form us) and they get their clothes at the salvation army 
One thing I have noticed is that they do NOT drink water, ever. Which confuses me since it's almost free, but the entire family will only drink soda[/quote]

So I grew up poor and was one of the original responders and this is right on.

Here's another little humiliation from my poor youth. We only had one soap in the tub. Maybe it was dial, maybe it was shampoo but it was never both.  and no conditioner, ever. Since I"m assuming most of us are female, imagine that when you are a teen girl.

I too have some of those characteristics of PTSD but agree that no, we don't need therapy.  For ex, I purchased a very nice dress for work and then proceeded to not wear it for a year. Weird. I food hoard too.
