[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single parent living in NWDC. I have two kids, but the older one lives mostly with his father.
No alimony, no child support, but what I did get from my marriage was work permit. I was illegal for the first 12 years in US which meant no school, couldn't buy property, and my boss was working me to death for minimum wage. He didn't pay the minimum $2.13 -$2.77 required for several years.
I had my second child while finishing school, but never worked using the degree because I stayed home with the kid. I got a night time job in a restaurant again since I had always worked in restaurants.
I separated from my 2nd partner 10 years in. We were not married, so lets not assume any money here.
When I got my papers, I started to invest  from 2007/8 even though I only made ca $2000 a month.
I retired at 46 because the investments have gone crazy since 2020. The experience I got from trading stocks, can't be taken from me. I could invest myself into freedom again using minimum wage if I had to. If I had made what you make, I would be doing well 2-3 years into the journey.
At some point I went back to school to get MA in ECE, but seeing reading and writing being pushed on 5-year olds, was extremely hard. This was going to be my first job after 27 years in being stuck in a restaurants, but freedom came first.
There are many other reasons why I made it and most low income workers won't, but you are no a lo income worker lacking a degree. Rumor has it that mos teacher are resourceful and frugal which is a lot of help towards financial freedom.
I never had a 401k for example, but it can be a blessing. I took my Roth, and since I was way behind and nothing to lose, I double both of my Roth this year alone. This return was available to all, but only few did it. I have many many other ways I make or save money, but again, they are available to all. Start to see the possibilities now instead of what you don't have.
My credit cards make me $10k a year for example. Again, should be available to many. I'm already setting up my kids with what I know. I would get you in financial shape in no time.
By the way, I pay taxes on $10k earned income only by design. The rest I'm hoping to take out as long term capital gains, but stay within limits as HH. I can go on and on how to make money or save money. And me no even speaky English. 
Good luck.
