The hardest part of living in this area is trying to surive when money is an issue. Let’s face it, around here money is ALWAYS an issue. People around here have the most subtle classist mentality. Those who have don’t look down on those that do not, but they pity them. Which in it’s way is worse. It breeds a mentality of superiority.

I just try to remind myself that money and things aren’t an end to themselves and aren’t all that important once basic needs are fufilled. The problem is having enough to for basic living requirements.
