56. being poor destroys almost everyone one, glad it worked out so well for you, barbara!!!
not trying to be sarcastic, but a kid with a rich family playing at struggle is not the same thing as a genuine poor person w. no fallback

as another person pointed out, when you're poor, you don't get your teeth fixed as a kid and that's it, the course of your life is set, or mine was, you can't represent, you're not "pretty," there is no decent job you will be hired to do if you are not prepared to do something extra and by extra i don't mean the metaphorical assfucking of the cracked article but the real deal...for men (some men) poverty may be a game, it is never a game for women

a person w. basic common sense doesn't NEED to be poor to figure out that being poor is terrible, if you needed that "lesson," what can i say to you? a serious person doesn't need a fucking lesson, they have eyes and a brain in their head, however just because they notice that poverty is terrible, it doesn't mean that they will ever get a chance to get away from it

everyone struggles a bit the first few years after college but it is a game for those from upper class backgrounds who have the right "look" -- they are just paying "dues" but know they will ultimately have opportunity handed to them on a plate --

for the rest all the bullshit about struggle is just that, bullshit, struggle doesn't lead to anything except more struggle, bad teeth leads to more bad teeth, bad health to more bad health
