I have a friend that was born on a farm in the midwest around 1950. His parents didn't get indoor plumbing until after he moved out. He turned OK and makes a fairly good living..
You win with that! Now that's poor. As a kid I did sleepovers at farms. It was fun seeing discolored water come out of the tap in the kitchen. I drank it. One day a tadpole came out. I asked my friend where the water came from. "Pumped from the pond we were playing in yesterday." Guess the filters weren't working. I drank it with no ill effects. When you're poor, you just accept it. But at least I had good plumbing! (We did have an icebox with a delivery of ice every week, before eventually getting a fridge.) Back to the discussion, a lot of us turned out okay because we were raised by good people - makes a difference.
