Poorest I was? It was after I got married, had moved to Albuquerque and got hit on hard times. I was down to .10 in my pocket and a negative account balance. I was a ways away from a paycheck and literally cried out to the Lord. Made it to work and a co-worker came up to me and offered to buy me a meal. Said he owed me. Then, another co-worker said they had owed me $20 and gave me a $20 bill. That money held us over until I got paid.
It wasn't too long ago, but really just a distant memory. I can also remember getting unemployment payments of $210 per week but I was near my folks and they cooked for us.
I was talking to my wife a few weeks ago about what I wanted for Christmas ... and truthfully, the items I could get - an LCD TV, a plasma, games - I just want one thing - a nice Nikon Digital SLR. And even then, if it can't shoot video and sound, I don't want it. I am content and really have most of what I want (still want a 64 Impala SS ragtop and a Gwagen, as well as an F-14 Tomcat).
