[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you sound rich and privileged to me. I am a single mother making $12,000 a year, even with my Master's degree. Finally I've gone back to
school at age 41 to earn a doctorate in hopes the job market will be better in my new field. My son is 4 and I am so sad I can not find him a place 
to go to school because his father makes lots of money but won't share it with us. However the SSS form counts his income.

Perhaps in comparison you will realize your problems aren't so serious and that you surely can find a way to pull things together.

There will always be someone somewhere in the world who has a greater struggle than your struggle, where even $12,000 per year is considered a substantial amount to earn, where you would sound rich and privileged.  Perhaps in comparison you will realize your problems aren't so serious and that you surely can find a way to pull things together. [/quote]

Says someone making 6 figures....[/quote]

Correct...says someone who also grew up across the streets from the projects and within walking distance of the city dump...whose parents finished eight grade and earned minimum wage raising seven children...who found a way to pull things together.[/quote]

...but apparently didn't teach you basic human compassion and kindness.   But I'm sure PP was truly inspired by your little pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps speech.   :roll: [/quote]
