When it's part of the story from the start, I often love it and find it deeply resonant and moving, in a "Don't touch me or look at me rn, I'm trying not to cry" kind of way.

I usually don't like it when it's a curveball thrown into a story where the characters were financially stable before. The profound anxiety of that is basically never something I'm into.

I grew up poor, so I guess I relate to stories where poor is the status quo, and find them cathartic. Whereas when characters go from well-off to broke or in debt, I guess all I get from that is extreme anxiety without the sense of catharsis.

Experientially, "poor as the status quo" stories are like praying for the 400th morning in a row that your rust-bucket car starts. Whereas "Rich to bankrupt" stories are like praying the engine in your private plane stops failing long enough for you to land it in a field. Both hinge overwhelmingly on anxiety, but it's a very different type of anxiety in each.
