Feeling broke when it seems like everyone else is thriving is one of life’s biggest challenges. The experience of poverty has many forms, none of which are easy to bear. When you feel isolated in your struggles, it can be overwhelming. Life’s milestones happen at different paces, and financial setbacks can feel all-consuming.

The realization that generational wealth and the opportunities that accompany it are out of your control doesn’t lessen the difficulty of being poor. Here are some heartfelt confessions that reveal the weight of these struggles.

“I’m so drained by being broke. I don’t even want much—just a break.”

Many of us juggle full-time jobs with side hustles just to stay afloat. It’s no wonder that so many are unaware of the broader world around them; we can’t afford to travel, and even if we could, time off work is hard to come by.
“Having kids makes the struggle even harder—it’s unbearable.”
