sig poll: buzz cola or duff beer

the first option encompasses all of that. being born into a poor family with 10 siblings in detroit is something someone had no control over
95% of the time the second option.

It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine
Most of the poorer schools are designed to have students pass standardized tests and meet graduation requirements. I went to five different high schools, all in rather poor area, and only one of them had any sort of personal finance classes, and it was a one term long class that only taught you how to open a bank account and balance a check book. No talk of credit scores, no talk of savings, they didn't even mention explain what interest is.

Only in this century can a person have a college degree and still be doomed to minimum wage jobs the rest of their life.

That how bad Wall Street has ruined the economy.

It's also something to do with being able to get a degree in gender studies or communications or something else not remotely marketable these days.

That's actually BS because any college degree would have landed you a good job a few decades ago. But the job market is completely different now, i.e. much worse and more competitive for workers.


Lol this. I have engineering friends who are underpaid or went back to school to get the next degree up because they couldn't get a job with their bachelor's/master's.

But assuming poor people got to college anyway... not that hard to afford if you were actually in poverty or if you're an illegal alien in my state (yes that's correct).

People start poor for a variety of reasons. What keeps them poor is usually stupid as fuck decisions like a $6 a day habit on cigarettes when they make minimum wage and having kids too early when they can't afford them.
If you don't have anything nice to say, say it on the internet.

Poor people are poor because donald trump
Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/
From what I've heard, most poor people were actually middle class making close to 6 figures, bought up a bunch of expensive shit they could probably afford and didn't need but couldn't keep up with the expenses, IRS and other debt caught up to them and they lost everything. So its people just being dumb with their money. Just look at how much the average American in their 30s have in their bank account.... literally less than $5K in savings while working a $70K job. People are just dumb as shit with their money.
Usually a combination ime.

Like yeah stuff happens but that's why you have emergency funds.

In fairness, some people never have a chance to save emergency funds in the first place, or just get hit by something ridiculous and that sucks really badly but ime most people (not just poor ones) just can't be bothered to save emergency because zomg da new Giga HD TV luks so pertty.

Basically, not-poor people are mostly lucky idiots except a few prudent, while poor people are mostly unlucky idiots except a few REALLY unlucky.
idk lol
Sad!
lol tied neck to neck
