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

[MeachTheMonster]

All a nikka really needs is a High School Diploma or Ged and hes good to go.

Thats it huh?

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 is 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 del 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.
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 solitijs you speak also have a rabbit hole based trap after you descend into the rabbit hole.

First thing what education trap? I paid my student loans off completely last week, I'm 23.

Second thing, first it was "did you ever use those program" now that I told you I did use those programs, it's "I wasn't poor enough".

Third thing, my family didn't get any benefits from Katrina, the only thing Katrina brought people in southwest Houston was an influx of New Orleans robbers and killers.

If you can't make it out of poverty in the USA, you're dumb or shiftless, chance are your parents were dumb or shiftless, and chances are your kids are gonna be dumb or shiftless. That's the ugly truth of it, and we're debating because people don't want to accept that they're dumb or lazy and that's why they're where they're at in life.

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.

You live in Chicago, a city that's slowly rotting. That's why you have those views.

You can't tell somebody from Houston, or Atlanta, or Dallas, that what I just said isn't possible anymore. People still making it happened, it's just a little harder.

$730 is absolutely not enough for job training.

I was replying to that dude. If you find my quote earlier in the thread, I already broke down how you could take $1,000-$3,000 and get started on gaining marketable skills.

But even with $700, you could take your A+, Network+ (tests that cost $200 each), throw in another $100 and you can get a Security+ cert. Get a help desk job. And then keep it pushing from there

Stop quoting me with all this silly shyt man. I'm not replying anymore.

You are such a special guy. If only all poor people could be just like you, poverty wouldn't exist.

Only ones I have sympathy for are the ones with kids because rich or poor I think most people want to have kids just sucks that they dont got the money to provide a better life for them . Their kids dont have to be poor when they are adults tho .

Wouldn't a person need the proper training before going to pay for the test?

What happens if they fail, they gotta spend another 12+ months saving up to take it again?

With no car, how do they market these "marketable skills"

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Yes the world needs your sympathy

 

[Rawtid]

The goal with saving for anyone is pretending like the money isn't there. I don't care if you're saving $5 a month, you have to get it in your head that this $5 doesn't exist. That's hard for most people.

 

[MrPentatonic]

I grew up around hustlers & people with smarts.. I don't believe for one second that if your broke you cant save up. If you want to get it, you will go and get it by any means necessary. All that self-defeatist victim mentality is for bytches & I cant afford to think like that at all.

I don't believe for one second that somebody with an able body and sound mind without kids can't find a way if they gave it 100.

Only thing stopping someone is the way they been programmed to think otherwise

Go to the library get free books, use free internet.
Lots of resources out there

 

[Maschine_Man]

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.

This is true, and I get that.
Just gotta be real smart with that.
Making sacrifices shouldn't be a permanent thing

 

[Maschine_Man]

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

Nope, not if they want to change

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Nope, not if they want to change

You really think buying a a dime of weed a week keeping them poor?
