So now that I am grown and married with one ankle biter and another on the way, and a respectable job with a decent salary...I have learned one fundamental truth...being poor sucks. My family is great and I would not trade my responsibilities for anything. Just a post for me to rant and complain...looked over finances with wifey today and naturally, we talk about all expenses. I told her I wanted to rejoin RHP and become a subscriber and she informed me that the budget can't support my frivolous hobbies...which frustrated me because I know we have plenty of money to support a RHP membership...I felt like this was something that I enjoy doing with only mild shenanigans and none of the foolishness of my earlier years but she is far better with money than I and if she says no I guess that’s the way it is...a recap being poor sucks...what are your thoughts.😳🙁:'(😞

Being poor does suck, more so for adults than children though.
I grew up very poor but did not know any different until I was a teenager.
Poor is relative really.

You can always bargain with her or hint that it would make a great birthday/anniversary/insert-occasion-here gift.

I can not wear jeans. When I was a kid we were so poor that my mother made me wear hand-me-down jeans from some kid named "Tommy". I didn't really know him, all I knew was my family took him in because they paid my mom some money.
All the other kids in school had nice, fancy looking clothes. I had to wear Tommy's old baggy jeans. They used to laugh at me and it hurt. I swore to myself that some day I'd make enough money to buy my own clothes and NEVER have to wear jeans again!
Well, I started working when I was 15 yrs old... and I've never worn jeans since.

We were so poor, we could not afford a real floor, so we had plywood.
Originally posted by arrakisI come from a good home with enough money. I wasn't lacking anything (and still aren't) in my childhood. I lived in the best neighborhood in Denmark with the really rich and the famous (in Denmark). And I still started working when I was 11. Something about learning the value of a buck earned.

I pay crazy taxes so illegals can take advantage of the system. They can collect food stamps and welfare and social security and have all the benefits plus some of being a citizen all with out actually being a citizen...they get all of this and I can't even subscribe to my beloved RHP yet another reason for stricter border policies.
