priorities

ever ntice that people with the least money seem to spend it on the least necessary things? Not always, but I've found that sometimes. you drive by a trailer that looks very run down and poor, and it has a big SUV parked outside and a gigantic Dish on the roof. You see a girl who you know lives in a trailer park, and who wears obviously recycled clothes from the salvation army (and I don't mean distressed vintage) texting on a brand new enV. I mean, my family isn't rich, but we're middle class, definitely not poor, and I don't have a phone, because my mother doesn't want to pay for it. You see obviously struggling people walking big dogs, smoking cigarettes, buying plasma screen TVs. but what do their homes look like? What do their children eat? Maybe there's a pattern to why they are poor. maybe they spend their money on things they don't need. I'm not trying to generalize, because I'm sure that not everybody is like this, but I'm just saying, maybe some people need to stop, look at their lives, and prioritize.
