I think some of you nurgas could learn a thing or two from this...

The quick and easy

 

5) You develop a taste for shitty food

 

4) Extra money has to be spent right goddamn now!!

 

3) You want to go overboard on gift giving

 

2) You become an excessive bean-counter

 

1) You think with the short term in mind

you think eating at applebees or the olive garden is living the highlife

 

you eat ramen for every meal even though you know it will eventually lead to you having a massive stroke

 

no A/C so you use a spray bottle to cool yourself down in the summer.

 

no running water? no problem, steal it from your neighbors hose.

 

lock on the door is busted and you are too broke to have it fixed, send your kids through the window so they can unlock it from the inside.

 

 

not really habits, but whatever. i know i wasn't the only one doing this.

This should be retitled to

 

The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor In The Developed World

 

 

 

In the under-developed world it would be more like:

 

Bathe once a month if you can find water without visible life forms swimming in it

 

Eat food that has been cooked in oil that has been recycled and used for the last 18 months, which you bought on the street from some one with even less money than you

 

Eat food with cardboard mixed in to it to stop the pain in your stomach for a few hours

 

develop bladder infections that you can't afford medicine for after using underwear that was worn by three people before yourself

 

Die in winter.

 

 

I've witnessed all of these things and I fucking hate it because now I can't bring myself to laugh at poverty any more. Stupid poor people, ruin everything.

(kind of stupid but)having shit that most other people didn't have like brand named shoes like nike kswiss was seriously considered baller status

 

making 10/20 dollars last you like 2 weeks(having 20 dollars was like having $100) even having a dollar or a food stamp in your pocket was the shit

 

lots and lots of walking and riding bikes(occasionally bus) to get where you want to go.. didn't have a car

 

walking a cart full of groceries like 5 miles home and watching the baskets pile up in your back yard

 

dumping shit you don't need and nobody wants in alleys

 

checking pay phones if they have forgotten change in the slots

 

always looking over your shoulders

 

restaurants in general were luxuries

 

blanket sheets over windows instead of blinds

 

bags and bags of beans and rice(i have noticed in richer areas this stuff is more expensive) they do like Mexican food i guess

 

always stocked with top ramen, boxes of rice a roni, baloney, and hot dogs

 

picked up cans and bottles all the time cuz we recycled

 

even though we were poor we always tried to have food in the house just some stuff i remember
