I grew up extremely poor to the point where I had to use the bathroom in either a bucket or a hole outside. Moved after I turned 19 through a program for youth and have an apartment, savings, and I'm going to school for a career in healthcare. It felt weird buying a laptop for classes now that the Pandemic pretty much changed everything. Just bought myself new clothes too since I've had the ones I have now since my late teens with the exception of my shoes.
*congratulations because you made it out of your past hard life...btw, I was lucky enough to be born from a middle-off family, but since I got married I can't depend on my parents anymore. the difficulties I am experiencing now have been shared with my husband. this is what I think is the art of marriage.
