though I know my experiences do not compare to some. Missing meals afew times per week, wondering why our lights and water took turns in not working. One of the best memories I have of back then was goverment cheese. I'm not sure if it was good or I was just starving, but I remember us ripping open the brown cardboard box and loving every crum of it. I think standing in line for that cheese probably saved us. Now I'm in my 30's.. and I probably qualify as middle class, though I still hate to spend money due to childhood experiences.. just in case I guess.
