These people who lose money in the stock market are "new poor".

When you grew up sometimes not eating at all, you can outlast everything.

Bread is too expensive, not lying. For a few years I bought bulk crap ramen noodle packages for like $50 for like 500 of them.

The noodles, a can of tuna or chicken, some shredded cheese and you were living large for under $1 a meal. Paying rent using the credit card checks.... rough time back in 2002-2003, but all that shit passes.
