I like this post. I too, have been in poverty and am now in the "voluntary simplicity", and they are in no way related! I don't eat out much or buy top shelf brands all the time, but that is a luxury compared to eating what ever the food bank can give you. I think being poor at least once in your life is one of the most valuable lessons. (maybe that sounds silly.. but) You really appreciate the simple pleasures in life so much more, when you know what its like to go with out simple pleasures and even necessities.
