(34,648 posts)109. You cannot be poorer than me.
You would need to go back in time to be as poor as I have been. I did not have electric until I started school. Please.
Just you being the gender and race you are gives you entitlement beyond my wildest DREAMS. I would trade places with you, but you would be insane to trade with me.
If you stop calling poor black women with disabled kids 'entitled' you might see what you have been oblivious to for so long. You know nothing about me zeemike, nothing.
