some people have imaginary friends, some people have imaginary poverty

Some people have imaginary friends, some people imagine they grew up poor.

What you'll need if you want to pretend like you grew up poor.
Hollywood Elite creep style:

• a can of frozen orange juice
• electric outlet
• refrigerator with a freezer
• monthly Sparkletts water service
• large spoon
• one gallon pitcher
• drinking cups for family of five
• Voila you grew up poor

optional

• 5 passenger car
• family trip that includes a motel stay 
• 8 x 10 picture of a dog any breed

There are many variations for imagining you  grew up in poverty.  Play around with ideas and come up with your own version of what you imagine poverty is like. The idea is to come up with any sort of childish reason you can.  It's really easy.

You didn't get a pair of Jordache Jeans, or Candies Shoes during the 1970's.
You had to watch television on a black and white set.
You had to sell drugs because you never knew your dad.
Your mom aborted you two months into the pregnancy.  (You were poor for those two months)

The only way to get treatment for your imaginary poverty:

• rant about it on national television 

1. On your own TV show
2. Get on TV by starting a protest, riot, block a major interstate.
