You are right; it is important. Influenced by society’s emphasis on money and appearance, how can someone who lives in poverty able to keep up? Or, get their basic needs met worried about deciding do I spend money on food or on my meds, praying the power company doesn’t turn the power off.

And what about these monster weather events where people ordered to evacuate? If you don’t have the money or means to get out, you risk your life. What about having a family to help?

Being stuck in poverty can be, not only stressful from the how the hell do I get my bills paid to if I drag my mattress to the bathtub and cover myself with it, will I be alive after the storm passes? That is suicidal.
