People share all the little secrets you can only learn from being poor (not worth it).

There are certain things you can only learn from a period of poverty. They range from tricks to stretch a dollar (or a bottle of barbeque sauce) to ineffable feelings of gratitude or desperation. Needless to say, every person who shared one of those little secrets over on Ask Reddit would instantly trade it for a cash advance. Nonetheless, they're giving out their secrets for free.

'What are things the poor people know that the rich don't?'

1. From DarkMatterSoup:

The excitement of finding a dollar on the ground

2. From EzekielMN:

The feeling of watching all your friends go on a field trip without you because your parents couldn't afford it.

The exact price of everything.

You could probably raise the price multiple times on an everyday item and a rich person wouldn't even notice. A poor person would notice when something's 5-10c more expensive than before.

6. From ElizabethEC:

When your parents are lying to you saying they're full when they're not so you can have the last bite.

7. From BillFukngMurray:

How expensive it is to be poor

8. From Aabacuss:

Being homeless. There is nothing like it. To me, it means that every single person you know has given up on you. Parents, siblings, friends… everyone. Homelessness taught me I have no one. Maybe more importantly, it taught me to have others backs even when they don’t want it.

Eating cheaply is unhealthy and makes you fat while eating without worrying about cost is much healthier.
