RETIREMENT SAVINGS??  FOR REAL???

Girl, THAT is NOT poor. You need some perspective.

ITA it is parents RESPONSIBILITY to teach gratitude, kindness, and work ethic.  You have to step up and actually parent, but you can get it done.  Why have kids if you are not going to teach them?

Poor means no savings, no retirement, no future planning because the bills are (really, truly) NOT getting paid today, and probably not tomorrow.

I'm NOT talking about the Nordstrom or private school bill, I'm talking about how to put food on the table tonight.  Will it be rice or spaghetti yet again?  Well, the spaghetti is 50 cents, and the rice is a dollar, so the rice is out.  The heat can not go above 62 in the dead of winter, because last time they shut it off for nonpayment and it can't go to $24. this month, because we don't have it.

Not everyone milks the system.  I know this is lost on some people.  Which is what enrages me.

Wow, I can't believe how clueless and entitled some of you really are.  With a straight face.  You have no idea, but you want to claim you do?  Really?  Wow.
