If you've never been a broke person with debts here is, in my opinion, a perfect snapshot of what it is like...the stress and worry and paranoia.
When I got up this morning, I checked the call display first thing (which I always do, because someone could have called to offer Paul a great job or a million dollars or something) and there was one missed call - Unknown Name/Unknown Number. Ominous. I checked the Vonage website and discovered that it was an 866 number. Panic. The only reason an 866 number could be calling us is...well, bad. Very bad. I nearly freaked out until Paul had the brilliant, if obvious, idea that I should try calling the number back. I did and it was okay, just something routine. Thank the Lord.
I just thought that this was such a perfect example of what living poor is like. I bet a whole lot of you can relate, and if you can't here's a chance to count your blessings!

Another sign you're poor: You know dread getting mail, when it used to be kind of fun and interesting.
Yup, that's a good one too...very true.
