As a result of that,as well as thanks to hard work and a fair amount of good luck I'm far from poor (as I define the word) and I'm just as far from being rich.
I'm reluctant to judge the circumstances of others.Bad luck is just as real as the good luck I've experienced.
This country's been good to and my family.My family has also been good to me,as has at least one employer.
This story surprises me....and of course each person/household has an individual story.
Les than $5K? I guess they made some bad decisions along the way. I wonder who is responsible for that? Oh, well...
