Are you really THAT poor?

I’m sure you have all done it, at one time or another you’ve gone to someone “I’m so poor”, “I feel so povo”, “I hate being broke”.

Question I want to put to you all is are you really that broke?? I’m guilty as charged of saying this ALL the time. When I don’t have money to buy a pair of shoes or new clothes I always complain that I’m poor, but really how poor am I? The other day while having a dinner conversation, I realised that really there are people that have lived just fine with less money then I earn. They neither look like they belong on the street, nor do I feel sorry for them for not being able to afford anything. If they can live just fine why am I complaining?

Then you can push this thought further to there are people that can’t even afford having food. I’m not talking about going out to eat at a fancy resteraunt or even getting Maccas take away. But basic food and shelter.

Now that has made me feel like a spoilt brat. Honestly there is nothing to complain about. And I will refrain from throwing around the word “poor” in the future “no promises”.

Well at least I can make myself feel better by a regular payment to the Australian Red Cross and Compassion.

Ok Time to get off my high horse and show you a pic of my sponsor child

 

Before you think I’m a good person I chose her because she was cute and she looked like me when I was younger
