HKM wrote When i was younger i never understood why everyone wore the same shoes all the time, because growing up i always had at least like 6 or 7 pairs of tennis shoes and dress shoes and stuff.

I still only wear the same shoes. I have one pair of shoes I actually wear, one pair of dress shoes, and a pair of slides.

Main reason being that it's hard to find anything super nice and not super expensive when you wear a size 17 shoe. Never understood the whole sneaker head thing.

I wear a size 15, maybe not as big as yours, but the struggle is real lol, I got my pair of boots, a pair of italian dress shoes, and a pair of slides for my lazy days lol

Idk if it's different on your screen, but on mine, it shows this message posted two times, an hour apart from one another

Both parents in the military: split when I was 8. Since the reason we lived on a certain base was due to my fathers regiment so we had to leave the base when my parents split. We was very well off before that but once they split we had to move across the country with £6 to our names since my father cleared the joint bank account. I am now 18 and live in the middle of no where with the closest city to get jobs around 40 minutes away with 0 public transport.

I have lived on both sides of the spectrum; people say money doesn't buy you happiness but believe me it sure does help.

Love that last part and you sound like a good person

I've lived through both perspectives. When I was little my family didn't have a lot of money and we lived in a small apartment. Didn't have very many things and it didn't really phase me that in reality we were very broke. It hit me when I was about 7 and my family started to become well off that I grew up with nothing. But having money hadn't changed me one but I value it to this very day and I supply my own funds I don't mooch off my fam. Not all kids who grow up rich are not independent. It's all in how the parents raise you. Idk if this post makes much sense cause I'm pretty tired right now but yeah.

That definitely makes sense dude, good story!

I was pretty much always aware that my family was in the lower class. Up until i was 8-9 years old they started moving up in class. Now they own 2 businesses that are doing really well and i am proud about that. Being 19 years old now i guess one thing i didnt think people had was food. When i was younger i always thought that everyone had money to feed themselves and their families. As i got older i seen that there were people living on the streets with their very young kids and pets due to an unexpected disaster. I try to help people out as much as i can. On TTG and IRL

I was born into a medium income household. My dad was probably bringing in 100k a Year and we were doing just fine. When I was around 8-9 my dad started his own business called tire wholesale and grew that business and was bringing in around 500,000 a year. His business partner decided he didn't want to work with my dad anymore and screwed him over and my dad lost so much money we had to leave our house and live in a apprtment for 3 years. Then he got back on his feet and grew a new business called turbo wholesale which he now co-owns which brings in 70 million dollars total revenue each year. My life has never been extravagant yea my parents drive nice cars and we have a nice house but I no way have I ever been spoiled. I got straight A's through high school so my dad said he would get me a jeep for my 18th bday I feel I earned it. We don't go on vacations every season and he donates half his income to the Hospital that saved my little brothers life.
