Thanks so much for commenting. I, too, have been very broke, but not poor. There is a huge difference between having $20 in the checkbook and the lights on and fridge (even having a fridge, because I've been without one of those - back in those, living in the car days) with food - and having no heat, no roof, no food... Let's be careful about what poverty really is... You’re absolutely right! Thanks so much for commenting. I, too, have been very broke, but not poor.

Let’s be careful about what poverty really is…

I've always had a roof over my head (however modest), food on my table (even if it's weird concoctions made from the odds-n-ends in my pantry), health insurance, heat (even if just on high enough to keep the pipes from freezing), electricity, transportation (even if it's 1 older model economy car shared between the 2 of us), clothes on our back (even if they're from the thrift shop), and so on. Americans have trouble distinguishing between "needs" and "wants". I’ve been broke but fortunately never poor.

Americans have trouble distinguishing between “needs” and “wants”.

We were secure, but on the edge of poverty, making steady but low wages. Nursing my babies made a big difference in so many ways.

There has also been a great discussion on several blogs recently about how Americans are all well off because we have access to good educations, health depts, etc. The global perspective vs. Keeping up w/the Jonses. On another topic, can I get your recipe for homemade bread? You left a comment on my post "Scratching Organics off the Grocery List?" and you mention that you make your own bread... I've been wanting to get a recipe for this and I would really appreciate if you would share! Have you seen http://www.globalrichlist.com/.
