Rich kids of Reddit, what has surprised you the most about experiencing poverty?
One of the biggest surprises for me was realizing how much resourcefulness comes into play when you don’t have money. It’s remarkable how people can create solutions with little to no budget, whether it’s finding creative ways to entertain themselves, cooking meals from scratch, or making the most out of what you have.
Another aspect that caught me off guard was the impact on relationships. When you’re poor, you might find that your friends are the ones who stick around for the right reasons, and those friendships often become much deeper and more meaningful.
Lastly, it was eye-opening to see how systemic issues can create barriers. When you’re not in a position of financial privilege, you start to notice how many opportunities are locked behind paywalls, whether it’s education, healthcare, or even just accessing basic services. It really shifted my perspective on socioeconomic disparities and the importance of advocating for change.
