I never even knew I was poor when I was a kid. I didn't have a bathroom in the house, just a toilet outside and a tin bath to wash in outside too. It didn't even register that other people had bathrooms. I had everything I needed. I had some computer books (no computer) and a pile of Lego, and I was GOOD.

I've been a millionaire twice.

Now I'm even poorer. I get all my food from the food pantries, and I own literally nothing. I've been reduced to zero. But I'm not unhappy! Someone was kind enough to put a roof over my head and I have an Internet connection and an IDE and I can crank out code all day until one day when I return to middle-class and can buy some decent coffee again.
