Anyone here grow up poor?

MP5,

You grew up poor and are still struggling? Boo hoo! You haven't paid your dues yet. Besides, it's always going to be a struggle. I'm struggling myself but I don't whine about not having enough money. I've got a roof over my head, plenty of food to eat, a car to drive, and clothes on my back. That's a hell of a lot more than 99.9% of the people on earth have.




Happy Scrappy,

Your story about your mom writing a check for $1 for your school lunch and then the check bouncing was the most pitiful thing I've ever read. That must have been horrible for your mom. Life gets better though, doesn't it?

Grew up in a trailer, and an old run down one at that!! Poor as fuck!!

But gives you motivation to achieve.

Conan how you like the 5-series BMW, am thinking it's between that a Lincoln LS, or a Boxter for the next car, kinda want somethind sporty, doing the SUV thing now.

Yeah I grew up poor, and the worst kind too. Wasn't that my old man had no oportunity, he just drank his paycheck. Then come home and fuck our mom up and turn on us for being upset over that. I can remember my mom countng change to head to the grocery store while the old man was hung over in bed asleep. To see a drunken maniac go after your blonde haired little brother for being upset over his mom being hurt leaves quite the lasting impression.

That is why you will see me flame and get pissed when someone posts about women being beaten or anything innocent taking lumps. That's also why I have made myself as big and as stroing as I can be...If I should ever witness such an event the pig doing the beating will perish. THAT is how a MAN SHOULD act!

It is humorous to me as well to see someone post that they wish they were poor. The circumstances surrounding the poverty aren't always so honorable.

What is also in poor taste is to see someone simply post "nope". I don't know if I took it the wrong way or not, but if that was meant to be snotty then fuck off! I have more strength in me than you could ever hope to dream about.

May, I seriously doubt with all the degrees you have that you could relate. Who paid for them? I owe over 26k in student loans alone, and that is for a bachelors. You ever have to wear your older brother's shoes growing up after they were too small for him, but too big for you? I remember getting a pair of Nikes from my mom that she got from lost and found at work and I actually felt cool cause I had brand name shoes. Atleast some of you relate. And May, atleast if I made the kind of jack you were pulling down in San Fran I would have managed it enough to not have to move home with the parents. How old are you? Late thirties?

When I graduated from college, I owed $0.00. Do you want to know why? Because I worked and paid for my tuition. My parents took care of my books. Also, I went to the University of California, not a private school. Please explain how you racked up $26,000 in debt. That's ridiculous!

After graduating, I worked for a few years and saved my money so that I could go to graduate school. Even while I was in grad school, I worked the graveyard shift at the local hospital.

Yeah, I made a lot of money in San Francisco. I was also able to save some money. My tuition for court reporting school is roughly $27,000. Guess what? I've got it! But, if I had to continue to pay $2,450 for rent plus other living expenses, I wouldn't be able to afford to go to school. Hence, I'm staying with my folks. It's a matter of priorities.

So, MP5, as much as it pains me to say this, FUCK YOU!!!!


I'm really curious how you racked up $27,000 in debt!

Be careful who you say "fuck you" to. I might just meet up with you in Denver and tear your arms off.

I study just as hard as anyone else in school, i hate ppl giving me that "oh with that money you have you're life is already set" bullshit

Yeah I grew up poor. I have no respect for my mother for allowing that to happen either. As far as I am concerned we were on foodstamps because her lazy ass didn't feel like working. There was always some excuse for why. Those free lunches made me feel ashamed. I went to school and held down a full time job from the age of 11 on up. She never gave me shit and it sucked watching all the other kids have things I would never get unless I got it for myself. She was a loser and to this day I have tons of resentment towards her. (Bet you couldn't tell). I do have one thing to thank her for though........She taught me everything I NEVER wanted to be in life.
