Mensagem: | Of course you are poor. You're a college student. When I was in my twenties I (we) lived on next to nothing. Probably an average of $250 a week for a family of three. I am always a few "paychecks" away from having no cash; so I am always dependent on the wealthy who employ me for my current lifestyle. However, I don't much care whether my current lifestyle continues or not. Yes, I do have these kinds of discussions fairly often with my friends. But certainly most working Americans never question these things. |
