Single Mom raised 3 kids, worked 2, 3 jobs. My girls learned to sew my son learned guitar and started working at 13 as a dishwasher in a restaurant. They knew if they wanted anything they'd have to work. Constantly had our electricity and water turned off. They're now adults and one has kids of her own. They're happy self reliant now, they are happy with life. I drilled into their heads that getting involved with drugs and alcohol will only make it worse and even though they experimented luckily none of them were consumed. I feel very blessed, I see other family members who had money spoil their kids and now they're either drug/alcohol dependent or constantly thinking about being rich and not happy until they are. All I can say as a parent is love your kids, try to keep communication open and have some rules that are fair.

Frankie seems like his head is back on. Admitting his mistake and have a goal. Way to go lad.

These 3 young men are living a really tough life. They can not crawl out of poverty until they grow up and have someone who can help them. I would venture to say that in 5 years they still won’t have the life they want. Wishing and wanting will not give them success.

Education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle

I know all too well how it's like being a young Parent. I had my son when I was 19 yrs. old and my Ex was 17. I can tell you from experience after 20 years now that I was not ready to be a Parent at that age and neither was my Ex. As and Advice to all young people, before you have kids make sure you are financially and mentally ready, which I was not.

Sounds familiar what these lads are doing. I grew up on council estate and nothing but trouble loomed for me. Joined the army and got well paid living in Germany after training. Fantastic life and best thing I ever done.

This is from 2012 a more updated version would be appreciated.

If money is so tight, stop smoking might be a good idea 🤷🏼‍♀️

In 2022 people are poorer and they now stab each other to death.

My cousin moved to England to marry her online boyfriend. She came back to USA bragging that he was selling his estate and would be moving in with us elderly sisters add- on apartment. She made out like he lived on a huge "Estate" but I knew better. He didn't even own a car and she had to always pay her own way back and forth. She was just bragging it up about hi "estate" and I said OH YOU MEAN HIS HOUSE IN THE COUNCIL ESTATE. She looked daggers at me. I had hit the nail right on the head. She still holds it against me. She ended up selling her property in the country so that she could afford for him to come to USA and they could get married. I asked her....didn't he settle his council house yet?? The rest of the family had pictured that he owned this nice "estate" and he was probably rich. Hahahaha.
