[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generational affluence wow. Those that have get and keep getting.
Poor kids, kids from MC families dont get $$$ no matter how much they are loved. 
Don't forget to be grateful for the position you are in to even contemplate full pay, cars, down payments, etc.[/quote]
This is not true. It's actually insulting as if I don't have the smarts as a low income earner. 
There are so many things poor/middle class can do for their kids and for themselves to get the ahead. Money helps, but what really helps is great health, consistency, avoiding mistakes, human capital, and many other things. 
Not making enough money barely makes it to top 10 reasons. I lived this life and I lived among the poor.
It's like people telling the sad immigrant stories about arriving with $10 in the pocket. Many of the people have 'intangible assets'. 
There is no reason why poor and middle class can't have them also. They may not see them clearly and then someone like PP also piles on that it must be the $$$. It's such a disservice to people already blaming the income.
My kids grew up with the knowledge that low income is NOT the problem. Having such knowledge and now experience, is an asset.

This is just repugnant.  You've lived "among the poor."  Have you ever actually been poor?  Having low income isn't a problem?  I'm grateful to be UMC because I grew up in a big family with scarce resources.  It's really hard to get ahead if you're under constant financial stress.  I don't take it for granted now that we can weather unexpected life events, and feel nothing but compassionate for those who don't have the resources to support their children as they transition to adulthood.
