Quote:Yes it is. When your at the bottom of the income pyramid you are literally living paycheck to paycheck. There are no savings or nest-egg to fall back on. Selling the car might bring in $1,000 but there's no way you can make up the remaining $2,500. I know it difficult to comprehend and thankfully I've never been in that position but the circle of poverty is vicious and almost impossible to break free from.
