My dad made $8 an hour at a factory, for a family of 6. Others had it worse but I’m not gonna let faker in the media (or Congress) act like they know something about growing up poor.
The first time I read a book and identified with an author's story of childhood, it was The Glass Castle. Though not a contest, she had it worse. But damn, saw so much of my life in this story.https://www.amazon.com/Glass-Castle-Memoir-Jeannette-Walls/dp/074324754X …
i must say its very interesting for an immigrant(such as myself)to hear how poor some Americans are or were, considering how America has been sold to be paved with gold bricks. That said America still has the greatest avenues for upward mobility.
Many Americans think they are poor if they don't have the latest iPhone. Lack of perspective.
I grew up poor, but it was different. It was urban and coastal. In school, pretty much everyone was poor, to varying degrees. I had it good; I didn't live in one of the high rises. Those were the worst. They're gone now. Row homes were much nicer.
Love that book. Just finished it last week. As good as it was, @marykarrlit’s “The Liars Club,” was even better.
OMG I’m reading this book now. Yeah, the first couple of chapters really grasped me.
Excellent book— I recently read Educated—similar story and well done by Tara westover
An aMAZing story!
