I don't know why, but that made me laugh.

OP, a cheap meal would be to mix a tin of beans with your cereal. Try mixing sauces instead of beans for variation. It tastes even better when microwaved.

This is the kind of stuff I subsisted on as a poor university student who couldn't cook worth shit. I preferred muesli over corn flakes (healthier!).

Donations qualify.
Inb4 everyone asks for money. As long as you don't act elite because of you're money, i'll be alright with you.

I just realized I have never been truly poor. Sure i'm not rich either by any means, in fact im a welfare mutha fucka. I get ssi, food stamps, and medicaid up in this bitch until 2014

That was honestly one of the most demeaning events in my life. I didn't understand why they had to come to our house at the time. Now I know my whole existence to them was probably just an easy way to teach their brats a lesson by taking them to the side show for an afternoon.

>all in all the only thing usable or edible in it all would be cooking grease, a giant jug of maple syrup, and one can of corn

Every time. I don't know how or why but it was this way every single time. Rarely did it deviate like this. I get that people want to help out without working or doing anything but simply cleaning out your pantry of the expired shit and giving it to us isn't going to help or do anything in the long run. There for a time I thought it was the rich trying to give us food poisoning and kill us off like you would a roach infestation.

That's why I don't feel as bad for car hopping wealthy neighborhoods. Shit just give me your ipod and lose change and I'll carry that shit to the dumpster for you and we'll be legal and square. But nope I gotta do this the hard way.

I am on section 8 right now and I live in a really nice neighborhood with nice schools for my younger relatives to go to.

I think that's mostly due to the housing in my area being over saturated with rental units.

Oh, we got money, only it's in the form of prime real estate, which happens to be buried under the world's biggest hoard of useless antique electronics equipment. The fat old kikes refuse to move it in a reasonable time frame (they need 6 months to pick out the 10 valuable things), so have failed to sell the property (worth millions, and I'd get a substantial cut) for 15 years.

How is it my fault that your parents decided to behave like sub-Saharan niggers and fuck even though they didn't have the means to support a child?

I work a shit job in a convenience store at $8 an hour and can easily afford a place to live, clothes to wear and food to eat. I sure as shit couldn't maintain my quality of life if I had a kid though, so guess what? I don't have one!

While that changed at the end of grade school (younger half sister turned 18, making support negated) I had a house fire the year afterward. It's crazy.

They have two houses and six cars for a family of four. This summer he went to Scotland and Seattle, in the spring he took a tour of Europe (the second time he's gone), the summer before that he went to Japan for a month. His dad is a lawyer who worked hard but holy shit, it still weirds me out.

>>3744214
We try to avoid his family's income as a topic. I know his dad is a lawyer, and his mom is either a homemaker or works from home. He told me his dad could pay for his college tuition in a week, and his tuition is between 15k-20k, so his dad makes between 780k and 1million a year. I don't know what 'percent' that's in- they don't seem like typical rich people though. They're not burning money, and they're pretty respectful towards me even though they know I'm poor.

There's only been one instance in my entire life where being poor affected me. My family masked it very well. I never wanted or needed anything I didnt have. Then we all got up on our feet, before I knew what was going on.

Shit was great, except sitting down was a bitch.

You just reminded me of a time i was walking on the street talking with some buddies and drinking a mcdonalds coke.
That thing was too big and i couldn't drink it anymore, just wanted to get rid of it. Two trash recyclers where coming on the other direction pulling their cart full of paper and cans and i didn't think twice, stretched my hand and offered him my coke.
He grabbed it and i kept walking. One second later judging by how little weight had been lifted from my hand i realized that i gave him just the watery icey leftovers of my coke.
I looked back and the look on his face was like he was the victim of a cruel joke, and i guess he was.
I didn't mean it though.

>"Anon. Your pants have holes in them. You should put on a new pair"

>Tfw when you're a little six year old trying to trick an adult
>hoping you'll fail so you can get caught and receive the help you need and at the same time hoping you won't get caught so you don't have to face the shame.
The adults are stupid, don't care about you and you succeed.

I am serious. Being a poorfag is a state of mind. I am on paper, a poorfag:

>For the last 10 years I usually have between $10 - $50 left before pay day.

>only rented by myself once, rest of the time with flatmates (had 64 flatmates across 3 states now)

>No car, just public transport and a bike.

But I do not consider myself to be a poorfag. I truly believe being a poorfag is a state of mind.

being poor is about how much money you own

being a poorfag is about how much you moan

or at least that's what this other anon is trying to say, im not sure whether i agree with it also that rhymed.

Stuff like this makes me feel so privileged despite having been dealt a raw hand. My dad was on a 70,000 pounds salary while I was growing up, my childhood was pretty much faultless. He became an alcoholic though and my mum didn't work/have any qualifications, he became gradually more abusive and drank himself to death. My mum divorced him, but since I was next of kin I had to pay off all his debts, 60,000 pounds. Total fucking bullshit. We had to sell all our stuff, and now we live in a welfare house in a semi-rough area. I go to one of the top 5 world universities though now, so I hope to change my fortunes and help my mum out after all this bullshit. My dream is to marry some girl and save her from a bad life because noone deserves this shit.

How difficult is it to emigrate from the US? I'm guessing you would require a 2 year or 4 year degree in a job that is in demand over there.

I doubt it's even possible for people to break free of the paradigm, just pick up and leave and go, not knowing where, and still making it out alright.

>never ate breakfasted or lunch growing up
>in year 4 everyone was eating lunch besides me, a teacher asked me where's mine.
>told her I forgot it but she saw threw my lies so she gave me her apple, felt so embarrassed.
>avoided that teacher, had another catch on but they got the idea that I won't accept their charity (didn't want to be bullied, wasn't a pride thing)
>some of my beds/furniture were found on the streets during bulk-pickups
>mum never bought me clothes, or any other basic nessecitiess
>In year 11 had no clothes for school wore my grand dads shirt, it was really old, teachers and students bullied me alike
>grand parents had to buy me shoes was taught that it was a blessing in life (in the sense not the belief) and that I should be eternally grateful
>been working since I was 14 giving my mum $100 a week for 4 years then $150, I'm now 21.
>she hasn't worked a full time job in all my life
>never was allowed to shower and if I was it was for 3 minutes
>from 4-17 had a drug addict alcoholic mothers boyfriend abuse me, combine this with all the poor feels and school bullying.

>in a tinychat with online friend (19yo college freshman) and about 10 other people

>bullet in chamber
>shoots himself
>nobody sees flash or hears a shot
>his cam is really dark, all you can see is a lamp

>nearly an hour passes

>later that morning, another friend calls the cops to check it out
>found dead in his room
>some still think it's part of an elaborate hoax
>see obituary
>story leaked to local media, gets reprinted worldwide
>i email the detective to help out, give him my account of what happened

mfw that poor fucker bled to death while we just watched and listened.
mfw his parents were upstairs asleep and the gunshot didn't wake them (apparently this is uncommon).

RIP

never play with guns

Anyone have bro teachers that bought you lunch sometimes when they saw you were starving?

They don't even make that much either.
