[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697881, member: 1963"] mof, I spent the first 12 years of my life in inner city Chicago. I grew up poor, though did live on the cheap side of a wealthy suburb for a while. My husband and i were dirt poor starting out. We did OK while he was in the Army only because I had a good job in Germany and was primary bread-winner. I maintained that role afterwards, and we had several middle-class years before his death. Now? I live just like my mother: small, over-priced apartment in a decent neighborhood. A car. Fixed income. I get by, but no savings. The only difference in our expenses is that I spend more on groceries and I have pets, which in addition to the usual pet costs, cost me 50 dollars per month in 'pet rent'.
