I have been in both states, and I agree that while they may look the same from a distance, there is definitely a difference.  The emotional and mental stressors of living in poverty can age a person far more than making the calculated decisions to "do without."

I appreciate you sharing wisdom with myself and the readers!  Maybe people wouldn't be so quick to judge those that choose not to indulge, if they knew the hidden benefits.  Great article!
