[quote=Anonymous]I'm an atheist but try to live by "there but for the grace of god go I".  One poor choice when you are young can set you up for a life of poverty.  I had a child at 20, my husband and I did not have degrees.  I was able to go back to school for free (my mother worked at a private university and I received tuition remission) and also we could stay with either set of parents when saving up to move to a new apartment, purchase a house etc.  Not everyone has such support.  I also had family to assist with daycare in an unforeseen circumstance or emergency.  I worked hard, and so did my husband, but we had help.  Nothing big but family to lean on.  This is huge. I now make 6 figures.

Have some compassion people.  There are also some who don't have the mental capacity, physical capacity etc to make it big but can still do minimum wage jobs.  Do they deserve to live in poverty for the rest of their lives?

Here's an old article but it still resonates.
