"Its literally impossible to save money when you're poor"

[ignorethis]

Have you used these things yourself.
Where are you success stories out of sheer poverty using them.
All I see is you talking but you have not given any real scenarios about this where YOU, actually got out of this.
So, if you got all these resources.
Where is you plan and how did you succeed at it, yourself.
So, you can stop talking in cryptic and clandestined verbiage about this like you know,.....
You don't know, so why are you speaking.

My mom used WIC when she first got to the USA, my mom was feeding my 3 siblings off food stamps for 3 years while I was away at college.

University I was only able to afford because I got 12k worth of state and federal grants each semester even though I wasn't a particular good student. Hell I could have went to hcc completely for free with financial aid and pocketed the extra money while picking up my first 60-80 credit hours. Government will literally give you enough money to pay tuition, rent, and buy food while at school with money to spare.

First apartments we ever lived in was Forum Park Complex 1, where me and my siblings would find heroin needles when we would play outside.

Had 3 families living in our house at one point walking to and from school 9 deep with all our cousins. They eventually were ecstatic to be able to move into their own apartments on 8900 Braeswood (ie the fukking hood here in Houston, right during the Katrina wave, when HPD was pulling dozens of bodies out the bayou right by the apartments), took advantage of government assistance to all get college degrees and worked until they were able to get their first mortgage and purchase a decent house in Mo City.

Dad worked two full time Jobs for the past 15 years, only being home for 2 hours at a time before going to his next shift

And who doesn't take advantage of child tax credits? It's known from hood to hood people game the system and let people claim extra kids and dependents to get extra money.

If you can't make it out of poverty in the USA it's not because the system is broken to the point nobody can make it out. It's because that certain people just aren't capable of making it out, due to consistently bad decision making, lack of wit/intelligence, or lack of drive.

Yea, your parents could have brought you into a bad situation, but even that is the bad decision making of your parents. And its up to people as individuals to break the cycle, the government ain't here to save you, they just give you the tools to save yourself. Plenty of people from fukked up upbringings have gone on to make something of life, and don't tell me the only reason they were able to do it was because of luck.

I get what homie is trying to say, but that definitely came out WRONG.

Poverty is a mindset.

Once you decide you want more, you gonna change your habits and take action to get it.

I'm out this thread though. I can't stand people with excuses.

Look around all the black kids on college campuses and black kids in corporate America. There's a CLEAR difference in their thinking and mindset than the begging, complaining, full of excuses nikkas on the corner. I don't have time for it anymore. fukk em. Starve fukking Africans come over here with $100 and end up better off than three generations of blacks in the projects here.

 

[Redeem87]

So poor people can't have vices or do anything other than work, eat as cheaply as possible and sleep?

Not if they trying to save money and come up to reach that middle class. Being poor should not be comfortable because they will not want to better themselves.

Lower middle class and up should be their goal . For the poor people who have kids I kind of feel like they are stuck unless they are willing to sacrifice a lot. Welfare should be a tool used to put yourself in a position where you wont need it long term , it should not be a persons normal income for life

If they want to live off the goverment for life and be poor forever but still have playstation new tvs and fresh clothes paid for by other peoples taxes cool but as much as I hate the US anyone can make it here. Doesnt mean you will be rich but you dont have to be dead broke working pay check to pay check if you dont want

Poor is a state of mind...If you always complain about being poor you will always be poor.

I swear the coli would be republicans if the GOP wasn't full of racists

It is a lot of sheltered clown ass nikkaz who need to be Republicans after reading this shyt.
They are past the beaugoise black Democrat, and just real live Republican with it.

People pay tithes every pay period. It's just 10%. I used that same concept of paying myself 10%. A self-tax.

Pay yourself first. Then pay your bills. Whatever is left is spending money. The hard part is not dipping into your savings.

Pay your bills first, then savings and spending money for yourself

A lot of black people period would be Republicans if the GOP wasn't full of racist. College nikkas, street nikkas, because a lot of them have seen with their own two eyes that you can make it to something if you're smart enough and want it enough.

You can't tell a nikka that live in the projects just like you and made it to owning a 500k house in the suburbs, that they don't know how hard it is to make it out of poverty.

All this ranting and it exposes you yourself have not been homeless poor and destitute with no resources.
You even took the trap they have for everyone in school.
So, now you talking fictional because you yourself did not make it out of poverty.
You had a resource group to aid you from never going in poverty.
Also, you were in an area that got an economic stimulus from the government in Katrina.
Like i said,...you yourself did not make it out of poverty.
You had resources and you yourself was not poor.
Do you know all these school programs and subsidies were cut after Katrina and the small spreadsheet pluses were eliminated if the program was still left intact.
So, that means all the transportation tickets, the money windfall, extra government paid social workers in abundance to handle the influx were taken away.
The problem with Americans is they think and self equate from themselves and not the actual general rule for what is occurring in actual nature.
We live in a country that is narcissistic by nature and al gore was run out of town telling you we live in a time of the absence of reason.
So, even the ideas you have or your past story and the positive outcomes no longer exist in nature.
Plus the government exasperated any reasonable solutions through applied knowledge on purpose.
Being poor is an ever changing thing and the things people used before you now in actual nature do not work.
Plus, you were in a region.
where the government needed, to keep civil unrest at a lull.
Yet, needed the windfall to create another povertous region to cultivate a profit from.
So, they will take away the resources overnight or systematically over quick successive time.

I know what you speak used to and did occur in your region.
Yet, this is a time after a change in the braintrust.
That the solitions you speak on. also have a rabbit hole based trap after you descend into the rabbit hole.

College kids are the main ones speaking out against the broken system in this country, and "living off the gov."

That was during affirmative action,...the ability to do that does not exist anymore and you can't sell that house for 500k.
Unless you are in a golden urban area that is right in the economic hub of that place.
When real talk it is only five real economic large hubs in America.
Where three are port cities, one port city is an economic depo people with money visit. The other hub is landlocked people with resources only go to visit Inbetween visiting the other three port cities.
That hub has no growth and will never grow and the segregation model America is built off of.
while going to spend their main bag in one of those three port cities and the fourth is a tourist attraction.
where their regular person economy already fell and it was the area where you could have come up and first to report massive fall.


In a country of fifty plus states and territories.
There is no way to make it out of and do what you speak of anymore.
It was phased out back in 2000-2001, fifteen years ago.

ppl lease because they still want to have the nice new shyt without having to pay for it outright.

PPL don't want to accept the fact that they just can't afford thit. I try to tell ppl all the time, that places like RAC and cheque cashing spots don't give a fukk about you and are robbing ppl blind.

How hard is it to open a bank account and not have to pay a percentage just to cash a cheque?

take the bus until you can afford a car.

Man the public transportation in many places is BEYOND fukked up. I had to wake up at 4 o clock to get to work by 9:30 despite only being 15 minutes from the actual job location. People need cars breh, or they ain't gonna have a job to save up money to go to. People buy these $700, $1000, $1800 dollar cars because they HAVE to have transportation. Most of us don't live in L.A. or NYC or places where you can take the subway, and it's thousands of buses going places daily. Miss the 9:45 and catch the 11:00 in Birmingham, and your going to miss 5-6 hours of work.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

That's a job training course right there.

I'm not in IT but, most of the Coli is.

That's like 2-3 certs.

But if you a bum with a bum standard of thinking, then yea, $730 is nothing.

$730 is absolutely not enough for job training.

I never said anything about college just because someone goes to college doesnt mean they will get a job . All a nikka really needs is a High School Diploma or Ged and hes good to go.

Flip houses , learn a trade that doesnt require college etc maybe make a youtube page try and get a following or work a low income 9 to 5 and use that money to invest in something.
