And it was a pain in the ass for them to lug all these things around, kids getting bored. just washing clothes would take up the most of your sunday.

the cost. it was $6.25 for me to use the big washer, then like $4 for the dryer.

being poor costs a lot of money.

it was somewhat eye opening to experience the coin laundry life. Ive lived this life in baltimore, lugging huge bags 2 blocks to the coin machine, rats in my apartment, broken glass everywhere so i get it but even then i was poor-rich if that makes sense.

but it was a noticeable difference from my life now. it probably costs me less than $1 to wash some clothes. I just walk down to my basement.

my mortgage is 1.4k when they probably pay more than that for a 2 bedroom apartment.

its hard to get ahead if youre on the bottom.

everything costs more. deck is stacked against them. $10 to wash 1 load of laundry here. $5 for a daily bus pass there.

Takes money to make money and it takes money to save money. Definitely a tough way to live.

Note - That's a bad kitty!!
