My name is Kate and, as a social worker, I am poor. This blog is an account of a personal account of being one of the working poor and a collection of my tips, tricks, and advice to “do poor” correctly.  

Things I like: writing, pears, my dog Zelda, hiking, gardens, the color green, homemade quiche, poems, finances, dark chocolate, feminism, and Disney’s The Sword in the Stone.

Things I don’t like: splinters, natural disasters, unnatural disasters, gum, when people are glued to their phone, excessive consumerism, fanatics, Christmas songs being played from January through October.
