See my reply to Brujah. I've done it for extended periods of time.
It really bothers me that people so often have these debates where they talk about the "poor" like they are some other species or something. Like they never met a real live poor person and think the condition is congenital and permanent or otherwise this completely alien thing. Could a poor person afford to get the things you take for granted? No. But that doesn't mean that every poor person will always be poor and that doesn't mean they want your condescending charity.
