        Well, I'm poor now due to hedonistic ex spending everything. I used to live in a nice big house with a pool, had 2 closets full of clothes, etc. But now I know that wasn't important. I'm poor now, I make about 25% what I used to, but I'm a lot happier!

        A picture of my twin aunts in hand-me-down winter coats, their sleeves so long their hands were covered. The joke: "We were too poor to have hands."
