67. my employer likes to give out Walmart gift cards
I'm not going to throw that money away so when I get a gift card from work (frequently offered as a bonus for working overtime) I swallow my disdain and buy my groceries at Walmart that week. I'm too poor to throw away $50-100 on principle. My reality is that making sure my family eats is more important than holding ideals. It's the same way I feel about accepting subsidized school lunches for my kids. I'm not proud that I'm in that position but I'm not going to let pride stand in the way of my kids' wellbeing.
