Oh that is just hysterical.

Some of us did all of that and then some. And yet, there was poverty.

Ever been so poor that you don’t eat? Or that you sleep in your car?

    1. is a good idea.
    2. is problematic. First, you have to be able to get a job, and not just any job, but a decent job, and then you have to hold on to it and hope the job is not a) outsourced or b) cut to reduce costs.
    3. is also problematic. It assumes that marriage won’t come with high costs, is stable, and that having a baby after the age of 21 is somehow cheaper.
