People who are not poor calling themselves poor

[Nikia]

I have lived in a variety of socioeconomic situations and know people from a variety of socioeconomic situations and do find it a bit offensive for people who make above median income, barring unfortunate circumstances (like costly medical problems), to complain about being poor. I think it is somewhat akin to a 5'5'' female weighing average or less complaining that she is fat when she is in the company of people of varying weights, including the severely obese (Please don't turn this discussion into a thread about women's weight, this is just an illustration).
Right now, I am making just under $30,000. My husband is unemployed and we have bill collectors harassing us. We are not poor though. We live in a nice, fairly new duplex. We have 2 paid for cars that are less than 10 years old. We have internet access and multiple computers. We don't worry about being unable to afford food and usually buy what we want at the grocery store with only slight consideration to price on inexpensive items. If we are really sick, we go to the doctor and pay our $20 copay. We have winter coats and decent clothing. Before you say that I am the delusional one and a paycheck away from being evicted if I don't solicit help from family and friends, I would say that you might be right. My husband and I are much better off financially and materially than many people who I know and my parents at a variety of times in my life. When he worked and made as much as I did, we were accumulating money and buying stuff that we wanted and going out to movies and other somewhat inexpensive entertainment.
People who worry about having enough food to eat are poor. People who cannot afford reliable transportation in places where it is required are poor. People who cannot afford winter coats are poor. People who don't go to the doctor unless they believe that they are dying are poor because they cannot afford it.
Me, I don't have to worry about any of that. I am not rich and may think that I deserve more monetary compensation for my work, but I will not pretend that I am suffering severe economic hardships. To say that I am, to me, insults those who are.
