What do you consider ‘the genuine experience of life’? Everyone has a different life, no matter what class they are in. I grew up in a middle-class household and had a wonderful, happy childhood. I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on anything. Why would poor people be more ‘real’ than me? Once I got out on my own, I was on my own. I don’t have a trust fund or rich relatives who are going to leave me money some day. Luckily I’ve worked since I was 16 so I’ve never had a problem getting a job. Just because I know that I’m able to eat every day and that I have money for my rent doesn’t mean my life isn’t ‘real’. My life is real because I work hard to have those things I want. My life and experiences are ‘real’ because I’ve been able to travel and live in many places, because I have people in my life who I love, because I have opinions and views. What genuine experiences does being poor give you? My experiences may be different, but that doesn’t make them any less genuine.
