Being poor is... When you lose a job, your first thought isn’t, Oh my God, I’m poor. I’d better sell all my nice stuff! Its I need another job. Now. When you’re scrambling, you hang on to the things that work, that bring you some comfort. That Mercedes was paid off and the one reliable, trustworthy thing in our lives. ...Driving to the WIC office the first time was scary…Using the coupons was even worse. The stares, the faux concern, the pity, the outrage — I hated it... Poverty is a circumstance, not a value judgment.
