The Ultimate Poverty Dinner

AsaThorsWoman

I wasn't raised in poverty, but I did spend 8 years in college. I was married for two of them and my hubby had a garden.

We literally used to buy the ramen and I would cook it with his veggies and call it good.

I'm pretty sure I lived off of that, yoga and coconut rum alone those days.

Unfortunately, I didn't know what a "food stamp" was.

It frustrating to know all those years we probably would've been eligible.

Being on a budget that small (although we were young and stupid and spent money on cigs, weed and booze on the regular) for food created basically a life time of food security issues, and messed up beliefs, like that eating isn't even important, I know it isn't because I've gone 30 days without it before.

Glad I don't have to worry about that anymore.

I feel rich having bacon, fish, beef and beer in the fridge at the current moment!
