Poor people can and do own their own home, it all depends on where you live. I guess you have never gone into the poor sections of town. My house cost me $23,000 in 2001, it was a HUD house.

Yes, his father worked in a mill, and even if he was a manager, mills were not known for paying high wages. His mother had to give up her road side business, and go to work for the post office.
If his father was making so much money, how come his mother had to give up her dream.
