..romero.. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 An offensive comment about how awesome not being poor in the first place is? A prideful remark about how much being poor sucks, but how it made me realer? Which one will get me more props??? the second one, definitely.. being real is of upmost importance on the internet, an being poor automatically makes you realer than everyone else. FACT: rich people can't be real, unless they are hood rich. but thats completely different. and your name is realism so you have to live up to that name you know?

shai Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Don't we already have a ghetto thread? I've always been poor so you could probably just follow me around with a video camera and get tips by watching what I do. One of my favorites is bringing random stuff off the street home because you might be able to sell it....then selling it and getting loaded with the money. And not talking to cops.

McLovin Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 bringing random shit off the street home just cuz you thought it was cool not to sell or anything.. found a cool scarf took it home and washed it. found some shirts too. a real fucked up habit is eating shit out the trash just cuz you think its still good and shouldn't go to waste.. not that i have ever done that.......

SystemFailure Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Dumpster diving at Dunkin Donuts. Plastic bag fulla treats. When you are 12 that shit is a King's Feast. Putting shrink wrap plastic and cardboard on your house's windows to keep the cold out. Screaming from outside cuz you know there's holes in the windows and screen door. Makin sure you're the one cleanin up after dinner so you can eat the leftover scraps. This was especially used when I was at friends houses. Jackin toys from rich kids, they didnt care. Prolly helped em get new shit. Drinking out of the hose, still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walid Jumblat Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Too poor for an allowance We weren't too poor, my parents just felt that there was no need for a kid to have money. When we bugged them enough they gave us $5 a week, the first week I bought some heavy metal magazine for the pinups and my mother cracked the shits because I wasn't saving my money. The actual quote was "If you can't save money when you get $5 a week how do you expect to be able to save money when you get $500 a week?!". My mother never understood math nor finance, plus she's Scottish heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Looks like no one has listed being super miserly. To this day my father will walk out of a store if a item costs five cents more than he can get it elsewhere. Dude will fight tooth and nail to save a buck.

ShortFuse Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 so doing these things is bad? I still consider myself poor, but now I very my life as living simple. I enjoy finding uses for all things. What just because you have money you can be wasteful? pfft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walid Jumblat Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 @ Eliserx - Hanging out your clothes to dry instead of needlessly burning electricity in a machine is a sign of being poor??!! You're kidding me, right? And yeah, I'm a bit miserly. I do my weekly food shopping in 3 different shops to save like $10 out of around $130-150. That's part miserly and part 'fuck you arseholes, I'm not giving my money to you for no reason!'. Our main two supermarket chains out here are rrrrrreal corporate type arseholes though that fuck over farmers, suppliers and smaller chains in the most ruthless ways though. They do not deserve my money, the pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 i still do flea markets, those shits are awesome. find all kinds of deals on tools. and socks. plus bagged cereal is great, its the same as the $5/box capn crunch, but twice as much for 1/2 the price. getting to choose a special cereal for your birthday--meaning a non store brand one, eating cookie crisp as if it was from the hand of god.
