Oh, nice to see personal experience being backed up by scientific research. Do you have a reference to that research?

Yep. If one types "u of k poverty research" into Google it will lead to ukcpr.org.
This is the University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research.
There are literally 1000s of hours of research and writing to match.
University of Washington (in my backyard) also has a poverty research center.
A central take away, if you don't feel like reading is that poverty makes everything else in life at least 2x harder. It's like compounding interest on debt.
That research is one reason I support universal basic income.

Mh, I also support universal basic income. I think it would make our society hugely better for nearly everybody, except for maybe the very rich. I can only dream of all the stuff that we would have if people didn't need to worry so much.
On the other hand, worrying and doubting makes one submissive, and there are people who profit from having others working for them. So, I expect strong opposition to universal basic income.
