Thanks for this.
From the other list, I was starting to thinkg that "being poor" was "whining a lot".
And the two anonymouses above only confirm that opinion.

And John Scalzi agrees:
I see this list as complementary to, and not in opposition to, my original list, and it highlights the difference between relative poverty (which is the situation in the US), and absolute poverty (which is the situation in much of the rest of the world).
Being poor in the US is a completely different situation to being poor in Bangladesh. Or 8th-century England, for another example. Being poor in the US, today, is to be wealthy beyond dreams and surrounded by opportunity - in comparison to most of the world and most of human history.

Yah, what Pixy said, ten-fold.
I grew up poor. That's "poor" by 1970s and '80s US standards. The Army sent me to Korea in the mid-late '80s, and I saw poor. Major eye-opener, I'll tell you that.
