    Sharyl Attkisson Retweeted peanut butter

    But I never felt poor. For me, it was because I was in college and lots of kids were in the same boat. You get by. It was before the days of having to have TVs and electronics and phones. Pretty cheap to live.https://twitter.com/LSUPETERadams/status/944594757459652609 …

    Wait, both of you. If you were once poor in America then the UN says you’ll always BE POOR.

        In 1980, my two-week take home check was $189. It was all the money in world back then. 1/3 split of cable, phone, rent. Hamm's beer was $4.10/case. It tasted like shit, but you learned to like it. Kraft mac&cheese, ramen noodles, rice&beans. I never felt poor.

        It was the time before government guaranteed student loans & you paid your own way semester by semester. You took courses for a career not a degree.

        Like sitting in the day room watching TV with other dorm mates and having a conversation. Or getting into a pick up basketball game with guys from other dorms. Got to meet folks of all racial/political/economic/geographic categories.

        Life is about choices! Who you were reflects on your upbringing BUT who you become is up to you! Eg: young, in college = short term poor & learning to live on budget; single, having numerous children w/ several different absentee fathers = lifetime poverty

        When I feel financial burden today, I think of those college days when I managed to keep $.86 in my wallet for days. Peanut butter in hot grits, was one way.
