My daughter’’s boyfriend posted an article about how poor people can’t get out of poverty even if they go to college and get an education.
I reminded her that was not true for her dad or her grandparents.
My husband came from a broken home, was kicked out at 17, and then proceeded to work and go to community college and then transferred to a 4 year college and hot his computer science degree. He’s done very, very well since then. Includine sending our kids to private school.
My dad got his engineering degree thanks to the GI Bill. He did not have the obstacles my husband had. However he and my mom made sacrifices. They moved to Venezuela for around 8 years to get started in Oil and Gas. I can’t even imagine doing that without phones and internet. My dad was also very, very successful.
What’s interesting is that my 84 year old mom has enough money, but she is still working. She has an antique shop.

I hear the same things from my young adults in my extended families...
That’s because they have no concept of the four letter word called “work” or the word “patience”
Most young people have a serious mental disease called “entitlement” syndrome, where they think because they were born they are entitled to have the things we adults worked hard for with patience to acquire over our lifetimes...
They are in for one rude awakening....
