    I’m a millennial. I remember a time without cameras everywhere. I also grew up in the poorest part of WV and I’ve seen my own childhood home in like 10 documentaries on poverty so…

          “Wow, look how the peasants endure, so brave ♥️❣️❣️♥️❣️ now let’s get some Starbucks” vs “Goddamn there’s a lot of rats in this meth lab.”

          the fact you have to ask tells me you’re the good example of poverty.

          not some rich asshole that makes assumptions.

            I’m still poor. I don’t care though. I’m rich where it counts.

            I have a gorgeous wife that loves me and kids who love me and can’t stand to be away from me.

            I have 50 bucks in my bank account and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

              we all make it our own way. IMO if you can do it without shitting on peoples livelihoods(including your own) then you’re leading a righteous life that’s deserving successes and praise.

              good on you for focusing on what you have.
