How do we do that???

Savings
Education
Training
Owning assets
Living below our means
Networking

Reading company financials
and
being prepared to move if needed.


You seem to disagree with me. I don't understand why.

I am going to ask my wife (much more liberal and compasionate than I) to read what we have written on this subject to see if I have not been clear. Perhaps you can have someone do the same - and we can come back compare notes.
Ace...do you know anyone living on the edge of poverty on the proceeds of a low paying job and perhaps AFDC support?
Savings - in place of putting food on the table or paying rent?
Education/training - either give up their low paying job or maybe night school (but then they would have to use their "savings" for additional child care)
Owning assets - the basic necessities come first
Living below our means - the only thing lower is homelessness
We can debate how they got to this point, but the fact is that there are millions of Americans facing this every day.
