Escape the poverty trap

in #poverty7 years ago

Brookings Institute says doing these 3 things will keep you out of poverty:

  • Finish High School
  • Do not have babies before you are married
  • Hold down a job

With the unemployment rate at record lows, employers today are giving more and more people a chance to prove themselves.

This is your chance to get your foot in the front door. After that, work hard and the sky is the limit.

You will probably do a lot better then just escape the poverty trap, you are more likely to firmly entrench yourself in the middle class. You may even become a mailroom clerk to CEO success story.

Good luck !!!

Is it possible to teach youth how to develop, nourish, and keep Will Power? That's what it takes to finish high school and hold down a job. Will Power is worthy of being the best friend you will ever have.

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

I love this quote by Calvin Coolidge

The only decent gem on that list is not to have kids early. Everything else is nonsense. Working for someone is nonsense.

Start your own business!
Don't go to public schools!
Don't get into debt!

These are the 3 ways to stay out of poverty.

I am all for people starting their own businesses.
