I had some truly unfair advantages. While till I was about 13 we lived in poverty-below what is now unacceptable for those on the public dole. My dad a wounded combat WWII vet went to work everyday. My parents were MARRIED. When the teacher scheduled a meeting with your parents, THERE WERE TWO OF THEM, ONE A MAN ONE A WOMAN, the teacher was always right and debates were settled with my father's belt not with time out in a corner with your i phone.

These still CHILDREN at age 40 plus live with their parents and complain about how unfair it is that they need to pay back the money THEY BORROWED for college loans or perhaps mortgages on more home than they could afford.

IT IS OUR FAULT-WE ALLOWED IT WE CREATED IT. POVERTY IS A GREAT LESSON. WORKING YOUR WAY OUT OF IT IS A VICTORY EARNED.
