Because I as dirty poor in my youth I can understand where the interests of the dirty poor lie.

My parents were poor, my mom actually sometimes homeless... My wife had trouble understanding why I was so anal about paying down our mortgages FAST.. Why I felt a need for X amount in savings before I could feel comfortable 'working for toys'...

We weren't dirt poor growing up, always a roof, food and clothes.. kinda like the Waltons of TV LOL.. Things were good by high school. The imprint from my parents is pretty strong though...
