The way I see most people ain't a clue just what poverty is , I was born in 1941 and when the war finished we knew what poverty was all right , I left school aged 15 and went to work in one of those dark satanic mills you read about for 5 pounds two and eight pence a week 7 30 till 5 30 out of that I have just one pound spending money , low paid work carried on till I was about 24 , then having a wife and two young kid I went self employed and built a nice little earner from SFA through hard work 7 days a week , no one ever give me fuck all I earned every penny , the value of money is meaningless ,that is until you ain't got any , then it strikes home just how important to ones life money really is , I never made money my god , but as Cujo rightly says you need it for the better things in life and if any one is prepared to work as I did 7 days a week 12 hours a day to get it , the very best of luck to them .
