Hell i grew up without electricity, warm water, barely had running water, wood stove for heat and to cook on. 200.00 MAX a month for food, old ass cars that broke down more than not, only up hill one way to the bus stop tho.
I feel like Im a king now days.
My Dad grew in in the depression, he was 48 when I was born, dont kno why he made us live like that. 

Glad he did tho. I kno 99.9 percent of people dont

At least your dad did give you some idea of how to survive, maybe that's why he made you live like that. After my experiences I swore my kids wouldn't live like that. They always had a real roof over their heads, good clothes, and didn't go hungry. They had most of what they wanted. Doubt they have any survival skills, well maybe the boy could survive, the girls I have doubts.

I've given my sob story before. Because of the way we lived I know I could live on next to nothing or enjoy what I have. It's all a mirage anyway.
