    I’m I guess middle class now. Was lower middle class growing up with my mom and grandma m. But I saw both sides due to public schools. Which I think public schools prepares you the most for the reality of the world. I had rich friends and I had poor friends who where in trailers or the projects and barely affording to where 3 different shirts and I would always spend the night at these guys houses so I got the experience of there everyday life first hand

    Were, where and wear kinda sound the same but mean different things. Here is an example.

    I went to a public school where we were allowed to wear jeans for no extra cost.

    Why does a question need to be laughable?

    if ur family owns a house can you even be considered poor bruh

    Section 8 housing and habitat. Also the requirement to get loans on houses in black neighborhoods weren't that bad in the 80s/90s around here. You can live in a house in the hood and still be poor as hell.

    What kind of business if you don’t mind sharing

    Just curious to know since you mentioned it took off during Covid

    Custom garments Embroidery and printing, promotional products mostly for other businesses

    Parents went from homeless in a third world country to suburbs in cali

    I dont ever wanna be that poor again, some days we disnt even have electricity when i was young lmao ate just plain rice all the time.

    Being poor in america as a kid i didnt care bro even days we were broke as s*** we could go get a f***ing lil ceasers pizza for $5 that was a luxury in my eyes lmao.

    Eating good now tho.

    Thats intense. Cheers to you for better days. Granted I cant relate or compare to being homeless in a third world which i cant even imagine,but i''ve had to sleep in a car in the states in 2011. My biggest fear is being homeless again. I had that concern for months last year getting kicked out of my last home more or less and the market being f***ed for anyone my income level. Never thought i'd be going through that again. Things arent perfect right now, but i'm more than thankful to be where I am than where I was terrified i would be.

    Grew up a few years as what i now realize to be pretty well off in a developing country, multiple houses, private schools etc

    Moved to North America as a kid only to become literally dirt poor, like lights off poor

    But funny enough couple years out were rising up slowly again as my siblings finish their degrees and get good jobs, my big bro makes like 80k/yr and he helps out a lot. My mom makes around half that, sis is starting a salaried position soon as well. Ig now we’re lower middle class and rising. so the plan kinda worked cus my family literally invested all our liquid wealth to immigrate with the hopes we’d go to good schools and get good jobs, but the early years were tough

    Im glad its all working out for you in the end now and things are coming together. Crazy how inflation is that 80k is considered lower middle class now

  • Jan 5, 2022

    Wouldn’t consider myself poor but financial stress played a huge part in my family dynamic growing up. Almost lost our house a couple of times and have to move into our grandparents with my aunt and uncle living there, plus my siblings 10 of us in the house at a time. Worked out in the end there but for a while was looking grim
