[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She works at a bakery/cafe full time. She has always been someone who would rather NOT try because she's so afraid to fail, not seeing you can fail, regroup and try again. So she's 22 and has taken like three college classes after dropping out of HS and eventually getting a GED. Very sad.[/quote]

I know someone who went this route and now they are pushing 50 and still live with their parents. They bounced around from various restaurant and retail jobs, moved in with boyfriends/friends in different cities/beach towns when they were younger, but ultimately wound up single, childless, and living with their parents for the bulk of their 30s and 40s.

Hindsight being 20/20, I think they let an anxiety diagnosis be an excuse for never having to work hard and figure things out. When things got hard, they moved on (or moved back with their folks). I hope they will inherit enough money to support themselves because they haven’t been working for a number of years.

It’s sad, but it’s also baffling. They grew up in a nice home in a nice area and went to good schools K-12 (private). No trauma or abuse. Perhaps too much coddling? [/quote]

This young woman grew up poor and was absolutely NOT coddled. She grew up in a tough area of a city and went to public schools. She rents a room in an apartment and is just earning enough to pay her bills. I think she has zero cc debt but am not positive. She will not inherit any money. What makes me sad is that I know just how smart she is - she could get A's in college with minimal effort. [/quote]

Some poor people tend to self sabotage in order to stay poor. Sometimes they do well for a while but then something drags them back down - maybe not to the level where they were but still considered poor. I think we all tend to feel most comfortable living the way we used to live as kids (with some exceptions and to some extent of course). -OP[/quote]
OP, with each additional post, you seem more insecure about your own accomplishments, envious of young people, and determined to make yourself feel better by stirring up dreck about class. What a gross worldview you have. [/quote]

Agreed. I'm pp and just reading this thread. [/quote]
