Fighting for Anything but the End of Poverty.

Think about it, There is very little conversation about how to fight your own poverty.  Most of the time I listen to the radio, for example.  And almost everything is geared towards people who want to make money.  Rightlty so.  I am not arguing with that.  But I have the devil of a time finding tips and tricks on how to stop my own poverty. Even on Facebook in the groups that talk about Anti-Poverty advocacy I find that the articles deal with government policies. They talk about the far North and Children both of which don't concern me.  They talk about civil rights abuse of Native Woman.  Maybe that concerns me a little bit although I am not a native Woman.  There are no places that I can find that tell me how to combat the poverty that is mine. Like tips and advice. This has plagued me all my life.  I am an obedient woman and was an obediant child.  I do not think I was ever adopted.  I know this.  I was from time to time...

BMI59 Third World Poverty and Myself

You know I listen to the radio sometimes.  I also do a fair amount of reading.  And for time there are articles about extreme poverty in third world countries.  Like Columbia or Iran or Viet Nam. I read about the poverty there.  It is always about the poverty there. I read that people have to exist on five dollars a day.  They don't have proper medical care.  They don't have fruit.  In my mind it has been there and them.  Never me. So now, after finally facing the fact that I am so poor I have been trying to find out what to do.  I have been surfing the internet looking for articles on Money Management. And budgeting. Lots of things are available about credit card debt.  And fighting debt.  It took along time to figure out what to do. Finally I hit the word Poverty.  And now It is time to fight it for me.  The ball is in my court. At fifty six years old It is a bitter pill to swallow.  But they say things will be ...

BMI58 Things go Really Slow. (Without Money)

Things go so slowww. Really slowwww.  Without much money I have to do everything myself.  Just today I walked it seems like a thousand miles to get some inexpensive strawberries.  And with laundry and cleaning the room and myself.  Even preparing a meal.  It takes so much time of my day. So I know that I have a big problem with poverty.  An despite the seriousness of this issue It has taken ages to find out what to read about.  Finally one day I checked out anti-poverty groups on Facebook. Ureaka! I found some discussion about fighting poverty.  For example I found out the exact poverty line.  People who spend more than 46% of their money on food, shelter and clothing are below the poverty line.  I am flying high.  I spend 100%  of my money on food, shelter and clothing.  What means is that if I want to save for something, lets say a new dress, I have go without something really fundamental. For example, this week I wa...

One of the little tricks of the trade I learned was to do crimp notes. That is to translate what I read into what i could understand.  So I am going to let you listen to these notes that were made many years later....
