The politically correct way to refer to someone who is of low-income, impoverished, or just plain poor.
While discussing back to school purchases with your children:
"I'm sorry, kids. We just can't afford those Jordan's. Unless you want to spend your whole $100 budget on them."
"Yeah, Mom. That's 'cuz we're poor. Thanks a lot!"
"No, kids," I say. "We are not poor. We are financially disabled. Poor is offensive to me."
An example of a single mom of six's back to school struggle and the humor that gets us through!
