How many of you had an underwhelming childhood because you grew up in poverty?
>having to go to school and listen to all your friends talk about the cool shit they got for their bd/christmas
>had to live through the winter months freezing your ass off because dad blew all his money at the casino because he though he would strike it big this time and now he doesnt have any money to pay the gas bill
>mom snaps and just leaves the money
>just ups and disappears without warning. Find out later she got fed up of us and decided to go back home to her birth state and live with her mom for the rest of her life
>we are poorer than before
It literally enrages me to see kids today with 800$ tablets and phones and their parents both make 6 figures. Just want to slap it out of their hands and stomp it on the ground.

yep, fucking boring
Yeah, I can relate pretty well to the poverty childhood.
>dad makes decent money as a prison guard
>blows it all on drinking at home or at any of the various bars in town
>just fucking drinks all day, tons of money down the drain
>bills are a couple months behind because all he does is drink the money away
>after i was like 5 i said told them not to bother with birthdays or schristmas because it might interfere with dad's drinking
>mom cries, but haven't had a bd party since
>listen to all the kids in class talking about all their cool shit, home pcs were still a huge expensive thing, so getting one was a huge deal, people getting new game systems, etc
>go home and do nothing because there is nothing to do except watch tv and watch dad drink
>get bullied in school for being poor, then have to go home to get beat most days there for doing something wrong
>grades are always failing, have no motivation to do homework even though I ace every test they give, parents bitch, teachers bitch, nothing comes of it, just pass me along so they don't have to deal with me anymore
Growing up poor sucks, if you're below a certain income level, having kids should be fucking illegal. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Especially when the parents are stupid as fuck besides being poor.

Holy fuck this. Poor people are just not mentally or finanically equipped to properly raise kids. This may offend some people, but idc it needs to be said.
Literally any retard today can sire children simply because they want to, then they stop giving a fuck about them after they are born.

Nice lucky sevens bro. Time for you to get off of 4chan and become a politician to get my anti-poor children poverty law written.

Growing up wasn't too terrible, life wasn't extravagant but relatively comfy. Then late 2007- early 2008 happened, almost lost the house a few times and now my parents are most likely in permadebt because of blowing money on stupid shit or getting loans that they'll never be able to pay back, with a dose of having 2 more children for some reason in 2008 and 2009. Funnily enough I still think of 2007 as being a rather cool year. But fuck me was that a bitch to deal with. Getting our water or whatever shut off tended to be a regular thing every 6 or so months. Hell I considered an HP Pavillion laptop to be top tier shit back in 2011.
