Also, I find it hard to believe that many people on this forum are actually living under the poverty line and have been for any extended period of time. I work with children from generational poverty, most are illiterate because they leave school at an early age to work to provide money for their family, for living expenses. I can see most people posting here are pretty literate, educated and healthy as far as I've gathered. Also, it's easy to say "I'm living under the poverty line and I find it easy" when you're under 30 with no kids of your own to care for or medical conditions to pay for that stem from a lifetime of neglect.
