The struggles of growing up poor
for me was...
Here is my list
1. Buying shoes that were two times bigger than me
2. Buying shoes from payless and lying that I got them from kohls or ross lol

3. Riding in a broken down grey Toyota Previa where most of the doors wouldnt and we had to kick the door just for it to open. I remember people use to clown on me for that had all my friends crying of laughter.
4. Wearing hand me down from my older brothers lol
5. Watchig KPBS cartoons (Author that show was lit, also wild kratts, and other cartoons) that were on when you have no cable.
6. Using a hanger or a fork and sticking it into the the place where you would need the Antenna(Dont judge saxhib desperate times call desperate measure).
7. Walking home while your friend rode home in a nice air conditioned car lol( wont complain on this one due to walking home being very peaceful and let me think hard about things that were troubling me) Now that I have a car being stuck in traffic and having car blast their horn is stressful as f*ck.
Thats all I can think of now things got better though as i grew older now allhamdullilha i have money to get the things i need. I mostly waste money on books need to start saving.
I'll add more when i get flashback to my troubling childhood filled with having no father figure
