Ah, that child-like mentality where all it takes is "picking yourself up by your boot straps"...

its the opposite of this list.That list sounds miserable, I'm sure there is a list for what it's like to be rich floating around somewhere out there.

and i can see yall saying 'work harder' are truly blind to the situation and never really been in truly hard times...
growing up, my grandfathers car broke, so he rode my damn huffy to work everyday at 4am...double shifts, dont get home until 9...hardest working man ive ever met...period....been on this earth 23 years, my grandparents just moved out of public housing now....

somebody said college was free but poor people dont have the drive to take advantage...show me that free college man...we gotta grind our poor @ss off for scholarships too man...so that was dumb
'i work hard so i should get the fruits of my labor' - high horse NTer.. dude probably doesnt know what hard work is...

some of yall ignorance comes from being out of touch...and thats not your fault, nobody should know what that list feels like..but dont throw silly solutions out there(maliz,mgrand,tc69) if you dont truley understand the situation...if you aint lived it personally first hand, you dont know the first thing about changing things for the better..

Being poor sucks but helps build character, like most other things that suck.
once your in so deep man..you cant just pick up and restart life...wasnt much time to go back to school when he was providing for his wife, 3 children and myself at the same time....his car broke and like the OP said, $800 cars aint worth ish...so when they break, theyre broke...

Being poor builds character.
The struggle breeds determination that cannot be purchased with money. Wouldn't have changed a thing.

I come from a middle class family. From the age of about 4, my parents moved from an apartment complex to a suburb which is separated by a drive time of about 6 min. Since that point, they have never looked back. I say that to say I truly don't know what it's like to be poor. We have always had way more than enough. When I was in college, I had to nickle and dime but I always had the luxury of knowing that if things got too bad...I had my people to bail me out. The fact that I was sitting in school was privilege alone. With that being said, reading the list honestly made me tear up. Not because this is something new, but because it's not fair. When you become aware and realize how the way things work particularly in this country, it really alters your way of thinking completely. The thing about me is the outside world has not treated me any different because of my appearance and I've come to embrace that. Nothing separates me from those living in poverty except for chance/lucky circumstances. With all the BS I've had to go through, the one thing that struck me was that without the economic resources and/or connections I would have made out so much worse. Yet, the same things happen to those who have nothing and there lives get ruined. I truly feel for those who have a terrible hand and it has become my life goal to unify those who live under this oppression, and become self-determinant. We can't continue to allow the government and its elected officials to play the role of God. Why does one (corporation/group of people) have ownership to basic necessities that have been provided for us here on earth free of charge. Think about how absurd it is to pay for water really....
VA757, I def understand your plight. Those who say "oh well they should just do this...." have absolutely no idea. At the same time, there are many who are impoverished that simply feed into the cycle of poverty manifested by those in control of media, policies, etc. Many poor people value the wrong things because rich people value the wrong things. The difference is that rich people don't pay for it as dearly in terms of consequences no pun intended. Let's start holding ourselves more accountable for who and what we value. Let's find a way to take care of each other and live better. No one is entitled to a thousand dollars if there's a child who doesn't have anything to eat. How do you drive a Range when there's someone without a house?
Reading is essential, I said some not all. Read over my two post again. Like I mentioned I'm more less talking to the lazy people not those whose out there hustling. You getting too hyped and not being rational. Your accusing me of saying "EVERY POOR PERSON IS LAZY" because I said some are. Sounds like you've had a past experience with someone saying that but THAT NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.smh@yall blaming people's being poor on them having kids early...
