Whos living in poverty ?

I'm living in poverty from someone else's view point. From mine it's a stepping stone to something better. I have to live with my parents because I can't afford my own place. Sometimes we don't have food to eat because we are all so broke. I worry about how I am going to get to work some days because I can't afford to get gas. I could go on but you get the picture. Like I said though to me it's temporary and my situation will never change unless I change it and want something better for myself. That is what I am working on. My perspective on life was sucking there for a while and I was depressed. But I have changed that.
