How the poor spend their money

Interesting article on how the poor spend their money. Reminds me of the days when I was poor...there were many of them. The desire to indulge is what makes us, well, human. Animals, for instance, find nothing wrong with eating the same thing each day. They're just thrilled to have a meal.

Me, I've had times of poverty when I've eaten nothing but toasted tomato sandwiches, hot dogs, and corn. They were free, and that's what we ate. I can eat hot dogs, and the sandwiches remind me of simpler times. But corn...nope.

Here's the article. http://www.slate.com/id/2162738/
