[quote=Anonymous]I was actually surprised to see all these posts from people who still consider themselves poor on DCUM. Recalling that 'what is your HHI?" thread from a while back, when it looked like a majority of posters here were from 2 lawyer households. Grew up camping in the High Sierras, or visiting relatives, or going to a cabin my grampa built himself right after WWII. Went to the beach on day trips. Always thought of my family as outdoorsy, it never occured to me until later that my parents couldn't afford a hotel for week. The places we went looked like Ansel Adams photos, and we return there now but meet up at a big nice rented vacation home. You don't need a lot of money to explore a lake shore or go fishing. And those are still the things I like to do best. I did know we were poor, because we never had enough money at back-to-school time and sometimes we ran out of fresh food at the end of the month and would make pancakes for dinner. [/quote]
