About This Quote
To be poor is to be in a vulnerable position; we depend on the kindness of others to survive. When we’re prosperous, we can afford things that help us get by. We have money to buy food, clothing, shelter, transportation, utilities, and entertainment. We can afford to take risks and try new strategies that could improve our lives.
Over the course of time, society has seen two periods of scarcity: times when people had insufficient food or shelter or couldn’t afford basic necessities. We call these periods hard times.
