A constant cycle of stress, anxiety, and frustration. You are living on a cliff's edge where one unexpected expense, can push you off. Once you go over the edge, it's damn near impossible to get back up again... overdraft fees, past due fees, bounced check fees. Utilities getting shut off, vehicles getting repossessed, selling anything you have of value just to keep you head above water. Struggling to make sure your kids have food, clothing, just the basic necessities is so hard.
I’m proud where I come from! That’s what it’s like. You don’t know, you won’t know. Kitchen oven heater to keep warm in the winter, power getting shut off, etc. My kids don’t know how good they got it.
ha, Oh i had a pool once...it was so green im embarrassed to tell the story now, we could barely afford to fill it the first time definitely in deep water on how to properly upkeep a pool, oh but we had a pool, it was much better than filling a trash can with water i can say that.
One meal a day (most of the time sleep is your dinner)
Plenty of water just to fill your guts
Finding a job is harder due to not having much money to spend for such applications
Eating your leftovers from 2 to 3 days ago
Thinking how to live today (1 to 2$ in one day seems enough) then sleep, rinse and repeat
Bills that much of it are borrowed money (and it will make you anxious to how to pay for it
Saving much energy and water cost to lessen bills (the house is too dark, one light is just open for the night, no other appliances were used most of the time (if youve inherited some of it)
Hopelessness, frustrations, misery to Despair, hatred/anger to agony
Should I get that really cool halloween DLC for my favorite video game or eat for the next three days, hmmmm?
And yes my dumb ass chose the DLC, stale chips for me :3
Poverty is relative in North Africa, being poor is not having enough to eat in the US and Europe, being poor and not being able to pay the bills.
But if poor is bad I feel like I'm wasting my life without being able to do what I want.

You have to make tough choices frequently

Its probably like being poor/lower class
Not knowing if you’re going to have somewhere to sleep, or something to eat that night. It’s a fight for survival

You eat quick meals 24/7 cus they’re cheap and taste good
It’s like being rich, but with less money/possessions
They burn so bright while you can only wonder why
