Sell your stocks, sell your soul, sell your life into a big bad hole. Obama can sell his government s**t he's just a corporate hypocrite. They're lying here, they're lying there, they're lying through their underwear. They work you to death, so they can bleed you dry, and they lie to you looking you in the eye. They dangle your freedoms on a rope, while selling your future and lying about hope. But they sit back and think its funny, let's see those dumb f**kers eat their money. So you might as well worship satan you might as well do meth, because all you're falsed promised here is taxes and death.


Amen...........smokin

Back in the day, they used to use urine to tan hides. Some families would have to collect their urine in a pot & sell it to the tanneries to survive...hence the term "p*ss poor"...

If a family was too poor to own a pot, they "didn't have a pot to p*ss in"...could also be phrased as "$h!t outta luck"...


What's the poorest you've ever been?


wownoway

I consider myself very lucky that I have never been as poor as some of you have.. When growing up my father worked only in the nice weather and my mother didn't work until I was in the 8th grade..I have 2 siblings, younger.. We always had a place to live, food on the table(although we worked many hrs in the garden and mom froze or canned everything)and clean clothes to wear...When I was divorced, I took nothing for myself, only had a parttime job an d 4 children.. We all did without a lot but we were happy....life got better.....To this day I still try to help those that are having hard times...and I thank god every night for giving me a what I have today....

It's not how much money you have that makes you poor but how much you spend, you could make a million a year but if you spend two million a year then your poor.

When you can't eat and have nowhere to sleep then your really poor, everything else is useless.

What I've learned from being po' in the past... ANYONE can live rich, but it takes a tough cookie to go without cake! It also taught me that you can always pour another can of water in the soup when friends are around... Hmmm...that gives me an idea...cake & cookie soup anyone? bigsmile

There was a time when I supported my family of 4 on $175 a week. Then I got laid off. I learned how to be frugal to the extreme. After my divorce this year if it hadn't been for family my daughter and I would have been living in a shelter or under a bridge, no job, no money, no car.
I owe my family and friends ALOT for the way they've helped us this year. :heart:

Hi everyone, and I can appreciate that many of you consider yourself poor; but to be honest you don't even understand the concept of poor. I spent the last couple of years in Iraq and Afghanistan building schools and feeding kids.

Poor is watching your kids go hungry, and knowing that you cannot feed them today, or maybe not this week. This is the kind of poor my parents went through in the thirties during the depression.

Very few in this country cannot find food, shelter, or medical care if they know how to go out and ask. That recourse did not exist for my parents nor most of the third world countries.

I'm not attempting to insult you or start a competition in who can be the poorest, just letting you know the relative position you are in, and that things can certainly get worse.

Seeing the glass is half-full, seeing what you have, for many keeps the hope alive. If you have hope, you have everything you need to find your way to success.

So when your having a bad day, make the effort to help someone else; you will find that the effort makes you stronger, and that of the person you helped.

Hope everyone has a nice day

Practical is good, but if that is all that you are, you are missing out, on the greatest parts of life. Balance is what most need to succeed. We need money if we choose to exist as part of the society we live in. It should not be the end-all-be-all of your life though. Just one of the paths to living with and loving those that surround you.

Have a nice day..

Lewis
