you know yer poor when

the neighbors nod approvingly as you hang out yer toilet paper to dry

cereal is eaten with a fork so the milk can be shared

you dine out only with a two for one coupon...

When it is cold you all huddle over a candle.
When it is really cold you light the candle.

You have a shower 1 night a week and a flannel wash on the other 6 to save money for the remaining bills.

I am poor ~ but I’m happy.

you know yer poor when you think of selling a kidney as cashing in a long term investment

You head straight for the out of date produce shelves upon arriving at the supermarket.

You know where all the warm grates at night are in town.

... your expenses exceed your income.

You're socks are so holy, they go to church by themselves.

You swat a firefly and get yelled at for turning off the light.

You are? Sorry

When your financial advisor says, “dying is your best option”.

i'm so poor
if i were a snake i wouldn't have a pit to hiss in

you stop at an ATM and come away with $20.....
