Quote from Terri Huggins

“Society likes to shame people without a lot of money. However, If you consider yourself broke, you’re likely better with money than you think. It takes a lot of skill and effort to somehow turn limited money into a food, shelter, transportation and personal enjoyment. Give yourself some credit for doing the best you can with what you got.”
