Buy it, enjoy it. I've been poor, as in raising 3 boys on my own in a trailer poor. I've done very well, as in went back to school, became a lawyer and made shit tons on money. And I gave it up because I wasn't happy. I'm now not exactly poor, I have a roof and food and a vehicle ( a 2009 Dodge Cargo Van I named Bernice).

But you know what I have, and looks like you do too? Love. A good husband, happiness. That's true wealth.

They say money can't buy happiness and that's both true and false. It's true in terms of taking care of basic needs. If you're always on the edge of not being housed, warm and fed, money can buy you some of that. But beyond those things, meh.

Good poor! Fuck that pisses me off. My ex (the kids' father) used to drive them around to the housing projects on his weekends with them to "look at the poor people and laugh." This from a man that lived off women and only got a job when he had to and was. but for the women he could con, POOR!
