If they were capable of planning long-term they wouldn’t be poor; at least not for long. Emotional maturity and self-discipline, of the kind required for long-term planning, are the keys to success and happiness.

“Emotional maturity and self-discipline”

Two factors that determine failure or success.

Stress, lack of sleep, prevent logical thinking. Your answer is so in the article. LOL

A nonsensical generality that doesn’t specify any of the qualities required to make the judgment you asserted.

Good, responsible people die broke in pursuit of prosperity. Others get it without the respectable effort you intimated.

You’re union, right?

After being raised by a single mom and going through three ‘fathers’ I realized young that the most important decision that I was going to make as a mother for my future kids was to choose their father well.

Part two was learning how to cultivate a relationship with that very important man. How to support him and make our relationship stronger every day.

Marriage lifted me and my children out of poverty.

Now, I’m disabled, but I’m still not poor. I never will be. He’s set me up for a life without him (if need be).

Marrying a man who cannot provide is unwise. Breeding with a man who has no ambition or motivation is unwise. Marrying a good man, then nagging him to death is unwise.
