It's so hard to be poor!

We're only going to get worse too if the food prices go up more like I've heard it will.

I feel like this too. It feels like it is so hard for us to make and save any extra bit of money but people who are rich have so much extra.

People say life is what you make of it, though I am not sure they have been in the situations some have been in. I know that it is very hard to be poor, though with more money, there is a new set of problems and many more hands in your pocket. When we made less, my husband was a lot less tired. We did not have a lot of money, but we had a better mindset at times. Living certain places poor is nearly impossible. There have been places I have lived that I know I would of had a better opinion of if we were better off.

I agree that there is a great difference between the very wealthy and the less aflluent people. Still, as I see it, none of us here at mylot is what I`d call poor. Poor, to my knowledge, are people who are hungry. There are 2 billion of them in the planet. Those poor do not read or write, don`t have computers and, of course, don`t pay bills because they don`t have a house as we know. For that same reason, they don`t pay taxes.

a pleasant day to you lady1993, it is really hard to be poor. and you are right, the poor are getting poorer and the rich getting richer. so in this regard, people who doesn't have that much should really do their best to earn more. aside from that, they should really work on so they can reach the top. hence in this way, they can somehow keep pace to the rich people.

Being poor is really hard indeed, and i understand it very well. I fact, i am but an average guy with a wife and a daughter living in a 3rd world country, and had many bills to pay with. Its hard, but as long as you have someone to work for, poverty is not an excuse to feel down, but to work harder and remove your family out of the situation of being poor. Some rich people gets richer because they are involved to illegal stuff, but not all, Some rich people gets richer for they know how to handle, and manage their money well. So, whatever situation you are in, try and keep on trying your best to get your life better and out of poverty.

A forever situation, as long as there have been taxes, this has been a problem. I guess trying to find a balance is just not possible. This is one reason why I support a sales tax, it seems the most fair tax of all. We all want government to do many things for us and the money has to come from somewhere.

I completely agree with you it is so hard to be poor. Yeah I do not understand the rich not paying their taxes. They have so much money and they do not want to pay their taxes. That is really sad. Not that I want to be rich but I would like not to have to live paycheck to paycheck. That makes life difficult and those emergencies that come up very hard to handle.

Hi lady! It's really hard to be poor. That is why I really strive harder in get myself out of that. Although I don't consider myself as rich, it good that I could provide my family with the things that they need. BTW why do your neighbor would pay tax if they don't have job?

oww yeah it's so hard being poor we didn't buy the thing what we wanted, but if we will try hard to earn the money that can support with our needs maybe we will survive in our daily needs. its okay to be poor in the first place, it will challenge you. hows your life to be. and what will be? GOD bless
