I suggest Down and Out in Paris and London, also by Orwell. I think the audiobook is on youtube. Great read if you have ever been poor as shit in your life struggling to scrape by.
Best quote in my opinion:
The great redeeming feature of poverty: the fact that it annihilates the future. Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you worry. When you have a hundred francs in the world you are liable to the most craven panics. When you have only three francs you are quite indifferent; for three francs will feed you till tomorrow, and you cannot think further than that.
