A cat tree for over 2 years. Othello is my heart.😻
Because I am poor I cannot save because by the end of the month ,broke again. Disability is designed to keep you financially abused and just squeeze by.
Poverty sucks. So many times I wished I could get better birthday and Xmas gifts for people, some times I wished I could give to a cause. Sometimes I wish I could help someone else. With what I live on I survive,but I cannot live .
It's financial abuse to be kept this poor. Many dreams deferred. On top of that you get treated differently being poor.
Financial abuse not for just disabled people,for lower class and working people, the paycheck to paycheck bullshit is so accepted as normal in this country it's tragic.
We all deserve better except the already well off
And the 1% deserve to be taxed at 99 % for assets all of them even overseas or in Nevada. They steal from America by rewriting tax codes and not paying any taxes along with everybailout they take a big chunk for themselves
maybe those taxes and relief payments should be clawed back. They are thieves,the over rich parasites. They should be made to know what poverty is.
They do not deserve any more of anything,ever..
Well,here's Othello loving his tree.

So sorry for the day to day stress you have to endure. There should be a level of income all people receive so they are not plunged into poverty. If we can spend billions on the military every year, surely some of that should go to a guaranteed income. Stay strong.

Othello has two tiny black dots on his feet about the size of a head of a pin. His little dots I always touch the dots,saying little dot,little dot..

(205,161 posts)I'm so sorry that you're having financial worries, I wish I had a solution. But you sure made that adorable cat happy, so your priorities are all in the right place. As I write this, my cat - who I found as a kitten six years ago in a supermarket parking lot - is also snoozing in a cat tree which he inherited.
