I used to think I was poor.
Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy.
Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived.
Then they told me deprived was a bad image, I was underprivileged.
Then they told me underprivileged was overused, I was disadvantaged.
I still don't have a dime.
But I sure have a great vocabulary.
