Yesterday, my 20 year old and I had an interesting discussion on being poor. How we are financially poor, but in other ways very rich. She is going to college paid for by financial aid and I have a M.Ed in education. We eat home prepared healthy meals and live in a small apartment with an amazing view of a nature park. We both have reliable cars, even though they are older models. We have good friends and family and live in a wonderfully progressive city. She has studied in Italy on a scholarship and we both travel often to places we love in the US. We have just about everything we need and some of what we want.
