I fucking garuntee I saw more hell beforehand ten than you've seen in your life.

And as far as camping. You good and fucking garuntee you that the time I spent homeless living in the wood was made easier by the years spent as a kid helping to do exactly that. Forage and fish to actually have dinner.

Oh and let's not forget bagging coal as kid just to bring in a few bucks.

And none if that matters. What matters Is your judgemental and undernformed ass thinks way too much of your own entertainment value, your pampered jerk

Pick a fucking narrative you deluded prick. Working since 12. Before I was 16, I had shovelled tonnes of manure, bailed about as much hay, powerwashed a hundred or so semi-trucks, and cleaned scores of restaurant grease-traps/"exhaust systems". Sure, I did it for spending money, not because I had to. Then I moved out and away, lost all my connections and resume-filler as such. Ended up homeless a few times in my twenties. Employers and National Guard never gave a fuck so long as I showed up.

You're damn right I don't care where you've been. It doesn't make $100,000/yr anything less than well-off. My family of 6 is exceptionally well-off on a little more than that, and I could retire overseas tomorrow if I could convince them to join me. If, TODAY, you're too comfortable to consider moving THEN YOU'RE TOO COMFORTABLE TO CLAIM TO BE ANYTHING RESEMBLING LOW INCOME OR "LOWER MIDDLE CLASS".
