A Universal Truth


"The cost of poverty is having other people make decisions about how you live your life."

i do believe this is true in so many ways!!
one example ii will write about is that a freind of mine was laid off from work a single mother with two kids she went to apply for food stamps
when asked if she had any pets she said yes a small dog, they told her she could not have a dog
because it cost to much to own one and she would not be eligible for help until she got rid of it-- true story-- i don't think they can do that but still the government tries to tell what to do and how to live anytime you need just a little bit of their help!!

I absolutely agree. I've seen proof of this and that's why if I can help it, I try not to borrow money or owe favors. Once someone gives you money, they somehow feel entitled to tell you how to run your life.
