This is all well and good, but it would snuff out your ability to loop pretty quickly. I think it would be more useful to compare money to wealth as concepts and do a bit more in educating people about the difference. i.e. going into credit card debt to buy spinners for your Hyundai when the mother of your child is obtaining food stamps to feed themselves. I was pretty poor for a very long time. Traditional "starving musician" type. It was stressful, but mostly in a way that getting a parking ticket would send me into a tailspin because I'd be short on rent. Other than events like that life was pretty good. Live outside a small town and you can live pretty lean. My health plan consisted of me planning on not getting sick. In a weird way, now that I'm doing OK I often think, "what if I lost it all?" The answer is I'd just go back to where I was and make it work in some way. I never quite get people who jump off buildings when they lose their fortune. I recently heard an interview of a homeless guy on NPR where he says that he actually gained weight being homeless due to the availability of good state and church run food programs in his town. I remember the soup kitchen I worked in served bread from the gourmet bakery I worked next to and it was my one change to eat there bread as I usually couldn't afford it. So what's poverty in a land where food is abundant? If food isn't abundant, where you are, why are you having children? Why is status more important than education? Why has being a craftsman or worker become a bad thing? These are the things I think about. On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 3:19 PM, Qua Veda<qua@oregon.com> wrote: > Thanks for sharing this article.
