I feel guilty that my maternal grandfather was a millionaire, which, combined with my father's salary as a software engineer, afforded me a comfortable middle-class upbringing.
But compounding circumstances have led me to now live in an old trailer while scraping by with manual labor, after experiencing episodic homelessness. Even when I was "helped out" financially on occasion, neither parent actually wanted me in their house because I'm "an adult now".
I feel like I'm LARPing as le epic prole when really I'm just a spoiled petit bourgeois brat.
There is no such thing as "fake poor" you mindbroken retard. You already are living in a trailer and were kicked out by your parents who refuse to help out how many more kicks do you need until you judge yourself as "real" poor? Break free from the neolibtard conditioning. If you think you can't even maintain paying rent for a trailer space then go out with a bang killing a random Porky. I know if I'm close to becoming homeless I'm going to buy a gun and kill some fucking renowned local capitalist.

Real poor is never having that possibility in the first place.

>>789165I just don't like the nuance of class mobility. If I didn't also grow up poor in a trailer park, then my current situation "doesn't really count".
>>789164If you were a millionaire that lost all your assets somehow to a scam or whatever, even if it was your fault, you would still be 'real poor', it doesn't matter.
Maybe you didn't have a 'working class' upbringing, that doesn't matter.
>>789166But who has even said that though? Of course people might be slightly less sympathetic if you explain you were rich as a kid but people can also respect the "my parents were assholes and kicked me out" backstory.
>>789162Stay in your lane, never speak above all of us, and we might accept you, but I'll tell yu that i've met plenty of rich kids trying to fit in prole world, they all, without exception, looked down upon me, treated me like shit and eventually went back to their mommas and dadas…
I stand to inherit enough money to retire comfortably after my parent pass away, even after dividing the estate with my siblings. Until then Im a proletariat (although I've also been NEET for years since getting laid off). I'll be joining the workforce soon, and that will give me motivation to increase my militant efforts at agitation and propagandising the communist doctrine.
>>789167>Maybe you didn't have a 'working class' upbringing, that doesn't matter.Technically it was, I'm not sure. It's not like my dad owned a business, he just made a six figure salary.
>>789169>you were rich as a kidThat's how it feels to me, but it's not like I went to private school or had vacations in Europe or something. "Rich as a kid" from my perspective was growing up in a two story house and being able to eat steaks.
>>789171I'm a spoiled petit bourgeois brat LARPing as le prole even though I never experienced any real hardship. At least you agree with me.
>>789172I'm not sure if I'll inherit anything. Both of my parents live a suburban lifestyle but often claim they're "barely making ends meet" which seems like bullshit to me.
>>789180
Your parents are lying in order to not give any inheritance to you. They likely plan on spending all of grandaddies estate on themselves and leave nothing to you.
I really suggest mending your ties with your parents and getting in their good graces ASAP. You could lose out on potentially hudreds of thousands of dollars of inheritance.
>>789183Meant this
>>789184 for you
>>789184I know my dad has a sizeable retirement fund, but he's very secretive about financial matters. And my mom got the house in the divorce, which of course appreciated 3x in value, but the first thing she did after selling it was buy a 30K horse. Something tells me I wouldn't get much inheritance either way.
>>789186American parents are fucking subhuman. Im sorry OP.
>>789162>I feel guiltyI found your problem. You should be thankful about your upbringing and stop glorifying poverty. There is nothing noble about living in poverty and its horrible condition that needs to be fixed.
>>789189Somehow I still can't help but feel guilty. Like it's all my fault and I shouldn't deserve a single penny of it anyway.
>>789190I'm not trying to glorify poverty, mine just feels performative and illegitimate. And yeah you're right, it sucks. If I made even an extra dollar or two an hour I'd feel legitimately rich. Of course I can't get a raise because my boss just sees me as some incompetent retard who isn't worth using for anything beyond cheap labor. So much for that "genius level" autism score they were always telling me about as a kid, this is about all it gets you.
>>789191This is kind of starting to sound like a mental health issue rather than about politics. Maybe you should get some counselling? Or just read a few books maybe if you can't afford it?
Life isn't a gift. It's a curse.
So, like do you have savings that you didn't explicitly mention? Because otherwise you're just a poor person.
>>789216>This is kind of starting to sound like a mental health issue rather than about politics. Some of both
>Maybe you should get some counselling?Sheltered bourgeois fags (not sure if I can say that) who posit themselves as some sort of modern priestly class just because they have a worthless piece of paper?
>Or just read a few books maybe if you can't afford it?I do a lot of reading anyway and still can't explain most of this to myself
>>789229I meant reading about mental health etc. There's some terrible therapists out there of course but they're not all that bad.
>>789222Sometimes I feel truly alive, if only for a moment. It's like the fog lifts and I can see everything in astounding clarity. Maybe that alone is worth living for.
>>789224No, I could barely afford rent this month, which is why I had to ask my father for a small loan of $300. That kind of proves my point, real poor people don't have that luxury.
>>789230I have an unusual set of specific traits and symptoms that "professionals" seem unable to wrap their minds around. It's actually just ADHD, OCD, and PTSD, but somehow that mindbreaks them the second I mention any specifics.
>>789232Fair enough, but I can see why they aren't really able to deal with that, that's more psychologist territory
>>789233I guess that didn't really occur to me until recently. If I went to a medical doctor and complained of abnormal pain, I would expect a cause, diagnosis, and treatment, based on his expertise, not a "That must be difficult". So I don't know why they call them "professionals" because the only thing they're professional at is making me even more confused and enraged.
Also, the fact that I can even afford therapy at all thanks to having insurance through my father is another thing that makes me fake poor.
