Mantas 3 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 GN. My mother was left widowed with 4 young boys. The youngest just 2. I know all about living on the edge, believe me. I am comfortably finacial now and I can attribute that to my mothers attitude and the attitude of other influentual adults while I was growing up. Unfortunately these people don't seem to have the right type of influences around them. I get that. But this is the only area where I would class them as poor. Otherwise they all get up in the morning and put the pants on the same way as everyone else in Australia. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess if you were desperately poor with no way out of it then the little money you have spare would go on things that add a little joy to life rather than the more sensible options.
