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.

Its a famous saying that it is not your mistake if you are born poor but its your mistake if you died poor.
I am happy that you take life as a challenge and one day you will defeat your poverty. Don't lose hope and keep on working hard. One day, you will find yourself among the rich.
