Solution DIDO.1 20,864 Posted October 12, 2016 Solution Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 ....I'm never quite sure how I feel about these poverty stories....yeah maybe some people are at rock bottom but I grew up on a council estate and everyone I know is doing just fine. Only those who can't be arsed working don't have jobs. My dad grew up in an age when women expected to loose a child due to childhood illness, they went to bed hungry and had nowt. People today don't know they are born 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I don't have much 'disposable income', but I get by and my life is better than some others have. Life isn't about having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.... .........but we were so poor that my dad had to cut holes in my pockets, so I'd have something to play with ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's why when they have even a month with no work, they are down the food bank. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
