I don't like to talk about it on r9k

I dont know if this counts but my parents were both on disability and my dad had to find other under the table ways to make ends meet. One way was having roommates rent out a room. They were always batshit crazy one way or the other. Let me go over them

Cont.

was raised by a single mom on welfare. so i'd say yes

I've been living in poverty my entire life. It's especially bad at the moment. I've been searching around the house for batteries because my family can't afford batteries at the moment

Absolutely.

Hated it, hated my dumbfuck parents for breeding when they were both HS dropouts making minimum wage. If you make below a certain income, and decide to have kids then you deserve everything bad that happens to you.
Oh, and your kids will grow up to fucking hate you because you couldnt be arsed enough to wait until you started making enough money to efficiently support another human being.

I am permanently fucked from it. Also because I went to a good school. all my peers are friends I've ever had have been significantly (as in fucking loaded) more well off than me. I have an extreme inferiority complex now for this reason. I stopped hanging out with people a long time ago because I simply cannot relate to them

yeah my parents are fucking retards also. they had three kids without getting married then split up. I've talked to my Mum multiple times about it and she's so fucking stupid that she thinks people planning to have kids is some rare ideal. she's literally of the mindset of "life just happens" and cannot plan or even imagine things more than a few days in advance. somehow to even make it more painful I must have been born with some weird recessive gene which meant I have a significantly higher IQ than the rest of my family which means I have to either suffer in silence around these fucking monkeys or try to enlighten them to things they are too stupid to understand which feels like talking to a brick wall.

Yep.

>be me
>have shitty computer, no modern game consoles
>need to sell consoles at memestop to afford newer ones, never liked the newer stuff anyway and wanted to go back to older games
>familys house was filled with smokers, always smelled like cheap tobacco
>Now 27, neet, severe depression

Fuck my life.

And thats all the crazy roommates

I think the high IQ meme has more to do with the fact that our generation was more exposed to the internet growing up so we always had a broader understanding of how things work via being able to just look it up. Older parents (gen X and beyond) are too used to just having their friends and dedicated news outlets serve as their echo chambers, thus allowing their heads to bloat with whatever fucked up backwards preconceived notions or ideas they had and cling to them despite being given evidence that supports the contrary.

I agree to an extent but I'm significantly smarter than my younger brother. I'm not claiming to be a genius or anything but I am by far the most intelligent person in the family and have had an extremely hard time because of it. when you're 7/8 and you can see all the shit your parents are doing wrong/ predict how things will end badly yet are completely unable to do anything about it takes a serious mental toll. my brother and sister were completely oblivious to these things so they ended up being better off mentally

>grew up surrounded by ultra rich people
>thought I was poor because of this
>turns out I was actually upper class, just not upper upper class.
Sorry lads.

Checking in. To this day am twenty-nine and do not own a car, a computer made past 05, console past gen six, drink pruno, no web access growing up until adult, etc files not hoarded because no space as a neet to this day also etc.

>thread about being poor
>rants about nothing but le druz r bad mkay
Not going to bother reading your shit. Rich people can do drugs and be abusive too you know.

same thing happened to me my parents were poor as fuck. never had a car even though I had jobs went to college full time everything I even sold drugs on the side for awhile and was making okay money with that but I got addicted to weed and I got completely fucked because of that it was curing my mental illness and nausea and it cost literally every penny I had so after years I had nothing to show it no car nothing not a thing not even one cent

I finally found a way to make money online. I was laying in bed all day stoned as fuck I managed to get weed dirt cheap off the deep web I was just smoking all day long laying in bed stacking up cash the most happy ive ever been. I was finally getting ready to move go to my dream city leave my shitty life behind leave my shitty small town just got my license back after not being able to pay fines for years everything was all in place

nope. I accidentally got too high off a pill and slid off the road. lost my license again. got stuck here on probation for years. it shouldn't even be that long of a probation sentence but I got completely stuck here because my state only gives really fucking long probation sentences and shit so I lost everything I worked for then some because im stuck here for the rest of my life basically.

I dont even have motivation to make my money online dont wanna do anything at all. im too tired all the time I feel sick because I had to quit pot im literally always sick and depressed and I have chronic fatigue I cant do anything at all. they're forcing me to get a job and I have nothing near me no bus no car everything is like 10 miles away

stuck living with my parents as I get older. dont want to move out because I dont want to be stuck in a small town. I have no motivation to do anything.

I wake up every day too depressed to do anything sick to my stomach and get headaches constantly. I have to force myself to smoke cigarettes to take away some stress but they just make me more and more sick but I have like nothing. I lost my license for god knows who long stuck on probation for fucking ever for a minor crime.

on top of that the weather here is like -30 for half the year and really fucking cold. I have no friends everyone is crazy as fuck here there's no one around my town has 5 people literally that aren't old and they're all crazy. the wind blows strong as fuck literally every day and it rains and constantly. my parents house is completely broken down and crumbling. leaks when it rains it gets freezing cold like in the winter it gets so cold I feel numb and have to exercise just to feel warm. I have no license and im getting older never had a car never had anything I cant do anything

so if I ever do get my first car I can only drive it to a job and back and i'll have to get a breathalyzer in it. FUCKING GREAT all over one mistake....what the ACTUAL fuck. plus now every day im afraid of going to jail like I think that literally every day when I woke up.

I was literally like 3 inches away from changing my entire life and becoming successful.

pretty sure part of my mental problems are caused by malnutrition as a child

My mom would vent about her financial problems to me. She worked an hourly job and basically spent most of her free time miserable over the fact that she could barely afford to take care of me. Which made me feel like a burden and reinforced my low self-esteem.

I was just talking about crazy roommmates that were a result of us trying to find a way to make money but OK I dont really care.

If a kid was destitute his first 3 years, regular poor in elementary school, middle class as a teen/adolescent, upper middle class in college. How would this affect someone psychologically?

Parents were split. Mom was and is poor. Dad was and is upper middle class.

define poor
my family was paycheck to paycheck a lot of the time but we weren't as bad as people in poverty in other not too far away areas
we live together with two uncles otherwise we couldn't afford to be in a house
it was noticeable that family always had less money, could do less, and was just different from others pretty early on in life

living with extended family cramped like that sounds poor

did your parents ever give you money? did they buy you a car or help you buy one? did they take all your paychecks when you got a job? THATS poor

here, but not bottom level. just redneck poor

You people don't know shit. You grew up in socialist America not the third world. There's no welfare or minimum wage or anything here. Life is hard mode in all sense.

where is pt. III you nigger

Where did you grow up?

Keep in mind, just because you live in some dirt poor shithole country where literally 90% of the population is poor, doesn't invalidate our experiences that much here in the states where we still feel the effects if you live below a certain income.

Basically my family imploded there comfy middle class lifestyle due to greed. I grew up piss poor.

How do you define poor? I was never hungry, or cold, or unclothed as a kid but I didn't have fancy clothes, or gaming consoles, expensive vacations, etc.
