"Your Mom drives a Cadillac! Your family is rich!"
"You dress too well to be poor!"
Yeah - Nope.
My Mom drives a used Cadillac car, that my youngest brother bought for her over a decade ago, from a used car ad, after Mom's last car died, after she drove it for almost 20 yrs. This is the current part of interior - she's been taping gloves compartment shut.
I still use clothes from years ago, haven't bought myself anything new for a long time, am gifted stuff, go to free clothing swaps & I sew/upcycle a lot of clothes that are damaged. I can dress myself very well without spending more money.
We are working poor folks. Mom's retired & depends on me & my youngest brother to help her out. We are very far from rich & privileged.
I have always had a creative, eclectic & untypical personal fashion sense & have been outfitting myself on the free n frugal since childhood years. I was dumpster diving before it became a term. Just because we are poor, it doesn't mean we can't look good.
