This Viral Thread Has People Pointing Out Things The Poor Know But The Rich Don’t, And Here Are 40 Of Them

It goes without saying that being poor sucks. Big time.

Absolutely everything can immediately turn into a struggle when money becomes an issue. Suddenly, you find yourself having to prioritize things that are otherwise considered essentials—food, hygiene, a roof over your head and the like.

One thing’s certain: being poor means experiencing life differently and that can be both a bad and a good thing. Folks online were recently sharing things that poor people knew all too well, but rich folk—probably not so much, and it’s all because money can solve certain problems without even noticing the problem.

Poverty is a bit of a confusing definition to nail, but the numbers, as they stand now, all at least provide some understanding of how poor some people can get.

According to Development Initiatives, an organization that aims to empower sustainable solutions for world problems by means of data, there are three poverty lines that most agree on: the official one, which is living on less than $1.90 a day, and the two that many argue are more representative given the higher cost of living in more developed parts of the world, i.e. $3.20 and $5.50.

For context, there are nearly 700 million people (9% of the world’s population) who live on less than $1.90 a day. The number increases drastically when you consider that nearly 3.3 billion people live below the $5.50 a day threshold (pst, there are over 8 billion people on the planet, you can do the math).

This Viral Thread Has People Pointing Out Things The Poor Know But The Rich Don't, And Here Are 40 Of Them The exact price of everything.

You could probably raise the price multiple times on an everyday item and a rich person wouldn't even notice. A poor person would notice when something's 5-10c more expensive than before.

This Viral Thread Has People Pointing Out Things The Poor Know But The Rich Don't, And Here Are 40 Of Them It can be cyclic

E.g. Low income means old second-hand cars, which means poor reliability, high maintenance costs and unreliable work attendance. Car difficulty discourages longer commutes or those without public transport alternatives - further restricting employment opportunities. Limited or unstable employment worsens income and prevents investment in more reliable cars, etc.

The difficulty is finding an exit opportunity to end the positive feedback loop

2)Eating the same food everyday specially at the end of a month,

3)Walking long distances because can't afford transportation,

4)Watching friends go on vacations when the most they got is going to grandma's house for *vacation*,

4)Never being able to celebrate birthdays,

5)Parents promising to buy something but they never do,

6)Dad repairing the same shoes again and again just so his children can have better things,

7)Moms skipping meals and lying about it,

8)spending the hot days without a fan because the electricity bill will be too much.

9)Giving parents the money you got as gift from relatives so it can be used for the household etc

10)Pushing yourself to study hard, overwork yourself so you don't have to pay for education (scholarships)

This is how a "lower middle class" family works in a 3rd world country. My dad got scammed of so much of his pension money and things aren't going well. Inflation is hell. I'm so glad I got scholarship for university and never have to pay for education. That's the best I could do for my poor parents. Because I know if I didn't get the scholarship they'd loan money for it and that'd be so hard to pay off. Also the unknown illness of mother... Can be cancerous. Idk, wdk, she suffers .

Sorry it's like a vent. I had to pay 75% of my monthly money for rent today(I was late to pay). Rest of this month, same free meal from my campus.

Roast the whole bird. Eat 1 breast

Remove the other breast, thigh meat and any other light meat you can

Throw the carcass in a slow cooker for 8 hours with cheap stock cubes, whatever herbs you can afford and the cutoffs from the roast veg - carrot tops, potato peelings etc.

Drain pot into a jug to keep the stock, then pick through the carcass with your fingers for all the meat that now comes off easily

Return that meat and some veg to the pot for 4/8 hours to make a stew

Use the rest of the saved meat for another meal.

A 1.2kg chicken does me for 5 days this way. It’s something I learned from my mum, whose mother raised 3 kids on a very low income post WW2 - this is how they would make the Christmas chicken work for multiple days

An article by Oro Wealth explains how poverty can be a positive experience, listing how it can teach people to be resourceful, how it fosters empathy, and helps people understand just how resilient they are. This is besides learning how to manage money properly and understanding that you don’t need much to be happy.

However, Altruistic points out that it does come at a cost: “Sure, people can be resourceful and use whatever they have lying around the house to fix and build stuff, but having grown up always hearing we can't afford this and that, it follows you into adulthood. Suddenly you understand just one hospital visit can set you back miles financially while your budget is minimum wage. So you go through life living with that constant fear and anxiety of not having enough to basically live, it’s exhausting even if you are crafty enough or if you become well-off later on.”

Cardboard is an excellent insulator and will keep you warm on the street if you've got nothing else. Pad the ground before you cover yourself - you'll lose most of your heat to the concrete otherwise.

You can eat ramen without cooking it. Often known as ghetto cookies.

Smokeable cigarette butts are currency when you're poor enough. Mixing said tobacco with marijuana in your pipe will make both last longer.

When giving someone Narcan to prevent an OD, make sure they're lying on their back, not their side.

The experience of being unable to go inside to escape freezing cold for more than 48 hours at a time.

Knowing the location of every church, library, police station and shelter within walking distance.

Altruistic gave us a little insight into how his family got by and from whom he actually learned the ropes:

“[I learned it from my] parents and grandma, she lived with us until her passing a while back. Mom and grandma would always notice and talk about prices at the store, you can say discounts determined what we ate for the day/week. Grandma mostly cooked and always used whatever we had first and only ever needed to go get something from the store once we were all out. Takeout was never an option, [stuff] like that.”

“Dad worked at an assembly line, pretty much learned how to fix the car and anything else around the house with whatever spare stuff he’d find at work that nobody needed. You quickly get into that kind of mentality when you experience it every day.”

Some situations are different. I absolutely would take my SIL in so she's not sleeping in her van. But the reason she's in her van is because, short story, drugs drugs drugs. I can't have her stealing my few belongings that I worked hard to aquire so she can p**n them, and then do more drugs in my house. That doesn't mean she has noone, that means I have healthy boundaries. (And let me also say, this isn't every homeless person's situation, just an example of why some people are where they are. I've been homeless, it's awful, and I wish the US had a mental health program.)

How to make it happen (for better or worse). Poorer folks know how to work through incredible restrictions such that their kids don’t realize that they’re poor, how to fund a vacation they didn’t know they could until the week of, how to make a car that isn’t suitable transportation get to work and back for 6 more months, how to make a bad marriage last for 5 more years because it’s the only or best relationship they’ve ever known. More well off folks make everything a catastrophe when things don’t go exactly how they planned despite never knowing actual hardship from those plans not working.

Edit: seeing downvotes. Sorry your deal fell through and this thing that’s never existed in your life will not be added to your resume and I should feel bad because your dad said it would be really important but wow 2 years later and here’s another. Enjoy it! You earned it!

To walk into a grocery store with a list, get everything on it, and go home to put up groceries as it's just another item to check off of your to-do list.

VS

Finding everything on sale or generic, weighing the cost of fuel into how much driving you do to get groceries on sale, not getting everything on your list due to costs yet knowing what the food bank gives out that you don't need to buy while also hoping the church you pretend to go to will have a good week with donations.

Lastly, we asked Altruistic for some advice on what helped him getting through adult life, and he had this to say:

“What really worked for me was planning my money. Plan your grocery shopping around what you have and what’s on sale, look for a lower price for the same thing (works best with more expensive stuff), and get by with what you have already. My phone’s 6 years old, still works, don't fix what ain't broke. You learn to live on the little you have and the extra buck or two saved helps.”

“Also stay positive and there is no shame in asking a friend for help every once in a while and being open about it. My life isn't as difficult compared to those who commented in the AskReddit thread, there’s some real hardship there, but it gives perspective and helps appreciate what you have.”

You can get a better deal on most things elsewhere. Dollar store is cheap c**p that doesn't last. If you purchase a pound of beef from the dollar store, it had so much fat and liquid that it will cook down to a half pound of actual meat. Purchase a half pound at the grocery store - the butcher will weigh it for you - and you'll end up with more meat that tastes better. That's just one example.

1) how to make lunch cuz school lunch is so expensive 2) how to find free or cheapest extracurricular activities, I cant even make a club I want to make because my parents cant pick me up from after school so i ride the bus 3) the guilt you feel when you see your friends face when you tell them you cant go to the field trip 4) the happiness of nickels found at the laundromat 5) how to cook for yourself instead of fast food 6) how to find a job at the earliest age possible, im 12 and looking for a summer job

I agree 💯 with Bobby! Do you have a Venmo or Cash app? I am sure people could give what they could and cover some field trips or extracurricular activities. I have always, and will always believe it takes a village!

You are thoughtful and well spoken, and you have wisdom many adults cannot grasp. I, and others here, would gladly pitch in to cover your field trips and school needs. Hope you continue to thrive. You rock.

Ashen, my friend, I am so sorry you and your family are struggling. I grew up very much like you. The things you're going through right now will give you unique strengths later on in life, one of them being empathy. And the world needs more of that. I hope things get better for you, dear. Thank you for sharing your thoughts today.
