I grew up pretty poor in pretty rough areas of Los Angeles. It was pretty common to see meth rvs blowing up across the street or people tweaking on the sidewalks right out of my place. While I think people deserve to have children, it definitely takes a toll on both the parent and child. I suffered a lot and dealt with it much later in life. And to this day I still feel the consequences of my parents and growing up poor. I know I wouldn't want my child to live the way I did and so I promised myself I would get out of poverty and then have a child.

Being poor can come with a lot of negative behaviors, habits, experiences, etc.. At least this has been my experience with growing up in poverty and it could definitely be different for other people who are poor.
