    Growing on a farm makes you more resourceful. You can also grow part of your food. You can also forage. I thing being poor in a big city is awful, being poor in the countryside is more bearable.

      Growing up in the farm is the only reason we survived those years. We had chicken which gave us eggs, we grew corn that fed us and the chickens. We also grew beans, among other veggies that supplimented our diets.

      My dad also got the place for dirt cheap, so there was never a mortgage, or rent.
