My “favorite” part of growing up/being poor is when you have some disposable income, even like 10 or 20 bucks, and deciding to splurge on yourself or even doing something unnecessary outside of base survival (Ie: Instead of getting a lot of cheap processed food “splurging” on a night out like bowling or going out to eat) 

and then the moment it’s over or right before you click checkout, you get hit with this deep feeling of guilt and shame as you realize what that money could have gone towards. Or when later, always inevitably, you are in desperate need of money you can recall every “wasted” cent you spent. 

It’s really disgusting that while I feel guilt over buying something as simple as a face mask, someone else can lose millions in the stock without even noticing. 

it really is disgusting that things like bill gates not knowing the price of bread is endearing while me for once in my life placing the quality of life over survival is seen as living outside of my means. That living within your means is just code for just existing as a tool to make others money.

!!!!!!! honestly who hasn’t cried out of frustration while going through the fafsa process bc I’m pretty sure they want it to radiate hellish energy on purpose

Every time I complete a FAFSA, copy-pasting the information directly from my taxes, the school always asks for my tax forms. Then when I give them my tax papers they say I need to complete an additional ‘income verification’ form. Like, I promise I’m poor. I know it’s shocking. Please stop delaying my financial assistance just long enough to push me past the deadline. Again.
