Does Ann not realize that "stock" for most people is chicken broth?

26. Well then you, your nieces and nephew, and the Rmoneys have some things in common, stock

And most likely never have experienced the uncomfortable position of real poverty (and not the fake "poverty" of the Rmoneys). Have you ever eaten out of a dumpster for 1 or more meal/day? Scavenged uneaten food off your customer's plate to save and eat later? Stolen toilet paper out of public restroom? Lived in your car or on someone's floor because you had no other money for shelter? Worked 3 jobs to try to stay one step ahead of the $200k medical bills that were racked up when your child came down with leukemia? Had your 15 year old bike stolen that was the sole transportation to your job 5 miles away?

Many folks don't have access to a pension, 401 or enough $$ to save anything at the end of a paycheck despite working like dogs.

I'm glad you and yours rode the lucky train. I don't begrudge anyone their good fortune but I do resent when Ann Rmoney tries to portray her life as "tough" living on a couple hundred thousand $$$. Furthermore, it makes me a bit cranky when others try to imply that if a person just "saved, invested and planned", they too would have "stocks". For many folks life's tragedies intervene in the best laid plans.
