Unemployed single mother so... extremely poor! Although I never felt poor, it wasn't until I grew up that I realised we were.

what you need is a good death every now and then. The TL's mum died recently and she made a few quid and now she has a nice 3 story town house to flog



meanwhile my old Mum is still grimly hanging on

I’ve got a little inkling that LT’s being ironic Nicky.

I mean despite my mum being poor latterly, she died relatively young (60) and thus left behind some pension pot that was split between me and my sister. We got just over Ł30k each and it evaporated in less than a year. Floated away on a gentle breeze . So I guess it depends. But I loosely agree; a friend of mine's Grandfather-in-law left his wife a 6-figure sum so now they're in their early 30's, with a nice house and no mortgage .

We weren’t poor, but we weren’t anywhere close to being well off either, both parents worked full time, always went on days out, had multiple camping/caravan holidays every year, budgets didn’t stretch to anything abroad, but it didn’t need to, we had great times with what we could afford, plus, I was the youngest of four with a gap of 10 years between me and the eldest so by the time I got to the age of properly wanting or needing anything, I pretty much had 5 people spoiling me cause I was dead cute

[Daniel-X]

Used to be quite rich when I was really young as my dad had his own plastering business and my mum is a social worker, but then they divorced and my dad passed in 2010. We’re probably ‘lower-middle class’ never hard for money but not insanely rich either.

[Marsh.]

Neither really. We got by and never went without.

Me and my sister brought up by a single mum who worked all the hours she could.

Wouldn't change anything really.

What about the crippling Father Complex that makes you incessantly hunger for dick?

I tried it once and didn't like it.

[JerseyWins]

Definitely middle

[BBDodge]

2 1/2 years in an upstairs flat with Mum, Dad & elder sister
5 1/2 years in a 3 bedroom semi with Mum, Dad, elder sister & younger brother
10 years in a 4 bedroom detached with Mum, Dad, 2 sisters & brother

Wouldn't describe any of them as poor or rich but they got better over the years.

[Cherie]

We owned our own home and farm but we were pretty poor financially as payments were quarterly or something ridiculous like that, but we didn't stave although I do remember having holes in my shoes once

[Jason.]

Neither. We were working class but comfortable.

My parents don't even own a house so my older brother/sister and I (we're the ones with good paying jobs) still give my mum some money each month to help with rent/bills even though we don't live there.

This is lovely.

[smudgie]

We had a beautiful house, gardener, nanny etc.
But my dad was a gambler, so we could go hungry at times.
School fees could go unpaid etc, not good really.
Parents got divorced, dad went back to live with my Nanna and sorted himself out.
Hubby and I started off with big mortgage and 2 little mouths to feed.
Took the kids all over, bought a cheap second..or even third hand caravan and had great holidays in the country.
Hubby worked very hard very long hours, kids had enough, they had a happy childhood so I consider ourselves rich from that point of view.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, that thing I've mentioned.... twice in my 11 years on the forum. Oh dear, someone has an obsession.

Put your drink down, eh!

[LaLaLand]

"Average" I guess but more on the poor side knowing what I know now. Me and my sister didn't suspect a thing though, great childhood.

Everyone was the same though around here if their parents worked in the local factory that shut. TBH there was only one family I knew our of everyone who seemed "rich" actually (first ones to get a home PC, gadgets, branded clothes, annual holidays abroad etc), everyone else was just regular, wore clothes off the market and holidayed in Rhyl. Amazing!
