I don’t understand the arrogance. Congratulations for having a husband “who makes lots of money”.
Consider that many poor people have been thrust into that situation due to unemployment, divorce, abusive relationships, etc., to say nothing of the deceitful practices of the credit/banking industries. Also it is exceedingly difficult for families to climb out of debt in today’s fabulous economy.
I am currently poor and underemployed. That being said, I will begin attending classes in June and will be licensed in Massotherapy by next summer. Aside from being a single (due to divorce) parent of two daughters, I also help run a non-profit K-8, local independent school.
The lesson here: not all poor people are lazy and shiftless. Some of us deal with much hardship, take care of our children and still manage to volunteer time and energy to bigger things.
Your snobbery is not appreciated.
Amen, Joan!!! THAT is the truth.
