I want to start my own garden....that sounds like the best and healthiest way to live regardless of how much money you have. Now, farming with animals is a different story...I will still buy my meat from the store, or just go vegan lol.

Where I come from, all the rich people grew their own food, had their own cows and chickens. My mother had the best childhood ever because her market was in her backyard. I'm jealous of her, she had every thing imaginable in her family's backyard. Their land was very blessed. My grandmother made a business out of it, and my mother became a trader, taking Guyanese produce to Barbados for sale.

You aint never lied!
In elementary my whole class got free lunch except the 2 kids who got reduced lunch ( I thought something was wrong with them).. then I moved down here and realized something was wrong with me when the majority of the kids had to pay for their lunch

in the district i work for, everyone gets free breakfast and lunch. we are that poor. when i atarted working for them, i found out when a certain percentage of a district qualifies for free lunch, then the whole district will get it free. I want to say that its 70% but i'm not sure.

I even talk myself out of insignificant stuff. I can say that it has ruined (not insanely) some of my relationships also. Like when I was with an x of mind I never asked her for anything... and she would ask me things like
"what do you want from me?" And I'm like ... " I dont know.. nothing really" I can imagine how that would be frustrating to deal with
All because of my super modest upbringing |
i do this too...I don't ask anyone for anything b/c i expect to be told no. either i get it myself or i don't get it at all. and when I buy something at the store like clothes, I always make myself put some back. even if I have enough money to get everything. even then, I have such buyers remorse.
