Poverty is a disease that changes people.

I think growing up impoverished with parents that have good morals is the best possible upbringing a person could have. I was raised on food stamps at a young age. Most of my clothes were hand-me-downs. I never had a fancy bike or ate brand name foods. I know what it's like to live a summer without an air conditioner or have to sleep in a car. The things I've had to do make me extremely appreciative of the things I get to do now. It also leaves you based. I could afford to fly to Italy for pasta if I wanted it for dinner tonight, but I'm going to eat a $1.79 taco instead and be happier. Most people can't grasp this.

OgNasty I commend your positive thinking because you really know the concept of life, most of us one way or the other went through some unfortunate circumstances while growing up but glad today that we are able to live a good and healthy life, some people will choose to live an extravagant life when they are wealthy forgetting to know how they started. It only takes someone who understands the dynamics of life to know that a good life doesn't necessarily mean you will have to live a larvish lifestyle when you are wealthy, some people can even travel far away to even buy things that are lesser than their transportation fare just to get it from a luxury shop or a well decorated mall but life is far more than living an extravagant life as someone who is focused in life must cut some expenses no matter how much they own.
