I'm sorry, I cannot read stories about people making 65K a year telling me they're poor, I can't do it

Like idk maybe I was more poor than average (..yeah) but if you don't have ANY of the obvious downsides of being poor (going hungry, no power, no water, homelessness, *the usual???*) then you weren't poor. You just weren't.

This is like finding out I prolly won't qualify for low income housing bc I don't make enough...

#personal #im not trying to gatekeep being poor but CMON!!!#being part of a poverty group on reddit is rotting my brain #pls im begging you learn what poverty looks and what it does to families #low income is like what 33K here?? 65K is a helluva lot more than that so it doesnt even qualify as low income
