Not even a little, but somehow it always feels like I could do with more.
No, but far too many Americans are.
Not even close.
No, but I’m definitely living above my means.
Not poor, but not far from it.
Yes. Disability benefits in this country are a joke.
Nope.
No, but I do know I easily could be. I’m better off than the average American right now, but our system is designed that we could fall off at any point.
No, but I’m not rich
Poor in health and happiness but not poor in worldly possessions.
No, I’m firmly in the “bourgeois scum” category.
We are fed, clothed and sheltered- and loved. To a good part of the world, we are rich beyond measure.
Yeah, I’m disabled and live with my disabled ex. He gets SSI, I get food stamps and some cash assistance. We live in a very small studio apartment.
Not now, I have been at various points in my life though.
Technically yes since I’m a student but I have everything I need thanks to my mom
No, I’m fairly wealthy
By western standards? Yes.
I have been before and I’m not poor currently. But I see so many comments and posts on Reddit where they are upset because they are living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford essentials but their income is double or more what my spouse makes. It makes me feel a little confused when I see that.
I feel poor but I’m not.
Yes, Im 58, single, no close family, unemployed , no savings, 4 lbs of beans and a package of bacon. I’ve got a paid for mobile home, a reddit acct, and a dodgy 97 Mazda. Some household furnishings, a few hundred in the bank and that’s it.
I mean I don’t really go hungry but money wise I am poor
Yeah, but living with parents (who aren’t poor) helps out with saving.
Yup
As hell
I make more than I deserve but less than I’d like.
No, mostly because I’m young and don’t have alot of assets.
Yes. I share a three bedroom with 10+ people. I’m also “rich”, because my savings rate is really high.
No.
I feel I’d get a lot of hate if I say yes, but I do feel poor relative to what other software engineers with my years of experience make.
