Today my credit card limit is $6,000

A year and a half ago I was declined for a credit card with a $300 limit

I can’t wait to for this weeks day of rest. I need to close the tabs in my brain.

This week has been an emotional rollercoaster for me.

I had friends who were middle class. I had access to everything they did. That made it hard for me to realize we were actually poor.

When I got to college, I got to see and experience middle class living and a little bit of wealth. College opened my eyes to so much.

I didn’t figure out I was poor until I went to college.

I grew up poor and had no idea. My parents really made things happen.
