I fell in love in college. We both got our degrees and then grew apart. It almost seems like when two poor people meet they would have double the income but then the woman wants to have babies and stay at home. Well if that's what you want but do you honestly see a future where a poor guy can raise a family on just his income?My advice to anyone poor and that includes 18 year old sealybobo, don't get married or have kids while you are still poor. I know that used to be ok in America because corporations paid the masses a livable wage. Today you need a degree or some kind of training to get a good job. if you have kids you have to pay for pre School, sports, braces, healthcare, toys and Xbox, clothes, dinner x however many kids you have, cellphones, etc.You are wrong!!! My brother turned down the vp position because he has a family. They ended up going with this woman who has no kids. No woman with kids could or would take that job unless they don't want to see them for four years.Like I said, it does not.
Are you talking about a single man or a single woman? There are more women in poverty than men. I can entertain the argument that single men might have an advantage over married men. I'm not saying they do but I'd entertain the argument. If you tell me that single women have an advantage over married women then you are smoking a lot of illegal substances and I probably don't need to listen to anything you say on any subject.
Single men and women are more dedicated to their careers. We don't run out the door at 5. We don't call in sick as often or have to leave early to pick up the kids.
I'm open to hear arguments that single men as a whole are less likely to live in poverty than single men. I'm still not convinced but I give credibility to your argument. It is pretty strong.
You are high on cocaine if you expect me to believe single women as a whole are less likely to live in poverty than married women as a whole.
There is a huge hole in your argument though that you might not have noticed. Your brother was offered the vp position.
So I don't know why anyone single has to live in poverty. You can go anywhere and do anything.
I love hearing my uncle tell me how he built his fortune. His start didn't include kids and a wife. You can't save for your first restaurant washing dishes if you have mouths to feed.
That's dumb advice. Don't fall in love if you are poor. Not going to work.
We are seeing now that college grads are waiting ten more years now before they start having a family. Because of student loans and saving for a home. So instead of having kids at 20 a lot are having kids past 40.
If poor people choose to have poor kids that's their decision, no?
