Poverty is the greatest equalizer. No matter your race, gender, sexual orientation...poor is poor. Now, these factors may make you more or less likely to be poor...but if you're poor....by golly you're poor.
You learn to be creative. You learn to make do with what you have...as the old saying goes "make do or do without". I personally believe it makes most folks more understanding and reasonable when it comes to others situations and troubles. The old saying "walk a mile in my shoes" comes to mind.
Now, poverty doesn't treat everyone the same. Some folks it destroys...some folks it makes stronger. Being poor isn't all bad...that's the thing to keep in mind, at least in my humble opinion.
Be kind.
Love others.
Never give up.
Be glad for what you have, no matter how little.
Never take life for granted.
