you dont know what poor is until you have $30 to make it to a paycheck that will barely pay your bills. when youre relying on lazy state employees to enter your information so you can buy food. when until that bridge card is reloaded, you dont even have enough of your own money to buy groceries for one meal. when there is barely enough extra money to buy a tank of gas to make it to and from your job that doesnt pay you a decent wage, but takes up so much of your time you dont have enough time to look for a new job, much less have an interview. when you cant afford to buy a bag of flour to bake bread. when you have nothing left to eat in your house. when your 7 month old hasnt had any fruits or veggies in over a week, and is eating nothing but cereal and formula for every meal. to have too much debt you cant pay on your credit cards to use them to buy food.
take poverty level, and subtract $10,000/yr.

im so hungry i feel like im going to throw up.

but i know God has a plan and a reason for our suffering.
i still have faith.
