When I was poor we did’nt have a TV, our car was 15 years old and changed our own oil, we shared a phone with a neighbor, we ate meat once a week and there was no allowance. P s Our first TV was a 10″ screen without a cabinet on it.
Today Poor won’t settle for anything less than a 40″ flat screen with cable, 3 year old car, fast food every day, cell phone and a computer.
