My name is Stef...I am an American who grew up in Detroit, MI and lived in poverty my entire childhood. From not having a place to stay, to living on the streets, to living in a shelter(C.O.T.S). During High School I worked 3 jobs, (Home Depot, Panera Bread, and a co called Sundries) I was very tired and tried to excel very hard in school. It was very difficult, especially looking at what everyone else had, that I didn't. And I don't mean the expensive name brand clothing. I mean a house (or my own room, with a bed to lay my head on) and a car, and having some savings for college. After I got out of HS I went to a community college, that I could afford graduated in business and now I work as a supervisor of a hospital. I am very grateful for what I have, but I will tell you to anyone who takes the time to read this, have fellow feeling for your neighbor and listen to the stories of others. You wont believe what's behind a smile.Cheers, Stef

in this reality, only the ""upper class"" "lives". the ""middle class"" "struggles", and the ""lower class"" "endures". welcome to humanity.

I cannot believe how people are sticking their nose up at that young man, he’s not out robbing and stealing but instead making an honest living which is a lot more than I can say about Wall Street billionaires.

The sad thing is even with a college degree, you aren’t that much better off.

I was just at Walmart tonight and I couldn't believe all the cars sitting in the adjacent parking lots with people living in them. Scary!

I'm 26 years old living in Atlanta Georgia. I'm trying so hard to do better moving up gradually. I went from being a housekeeper at $8.75 an hour to a Certified Nurse Assistant with 2 jobs. One where I make $11.00 an hour an another I'm at $13.50. I'm still struggling though because of taxes and the cost of living. Now I'm about to become a city bus driver starting at just a little more, $15.40 an hour. I just got my cdl permit and being trained for my cdl. I'm not going to settle and stay where I'm at. I'm about to get as many trades up under my belt as possible

Schooling isn't the answer either. A university degree doesn't mean squat anymore. They're a dime a dozen and half the degrees offered are completely useless.

I have been with my lady for 20yrs. We were never able to get married or have children because we cannot afford it.

That’s a real man, doesn’t matter what he does as long as he takes care of his family. Mad respect.

My friend just told me that she makes $14's an hour, about 40's a week, maybe a little over. She makes to much for Food Stamps, and she still struggles to make a living. She's single, no children, and she isn't one to buy stuff she doesn't need.

People think just by staying in school you will survive. That is not how life works. Sad just so sad.

Sad. However when the minimum wage goes up so will housing, groceries and gas. It’s a rat race.
