A lack of money usually compounds a person's problems and helps to prevent people from doing things that they otherwise would do. In my own case, it's stopped me from having a lot of experiences which I think has contributed greatly to my sense of loneliness and isolation. So many times I've had to hear my friends going on vacations and adventures, while my own poor family has barely gotten by month to month and has rarely even gotten out of the house in the last 20 years. Being so sheltered my whole life does nothing to help me socialize and usually makes me very insecure and shy, only furthering my isolation. I've asked myself so many times "Why me?!?!" I suppose you could say that isolation begets isolation. So take the poll and let us know what affect money or a lack thereof has had on your life. Has had a noticable effect on your social life? My parents make between $12,000 and $20,000 in the state of Michigan which is officially below poverty. I personally now make $50,000 which makes me middle class. I'm still lonely at times, but now at least money doesn't have to limit me.
Of course, don't take this to mean that money is a cure-all for all forms of social isolation, but I do believe that as your income class decreases your chances of isolation increase. http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/1/0/3/2/6/p103262_index.html
