If you are uneducated and unskilled and accept a minimum wage
job, you can live fine but you have to adapt to the situation.
Live with roommates to split monthly costs, etc. Skip going out
to eat, vacations, even a car which is a big cost. Don't run up a
credit card. Certainly don't have kids. - keep it in your pants.

People that refuse to work hard to better themselves get no
sympathy from me when they whine and cry.
Save that beer, lottery, and cigarette money and see how much
extra THAT will add up to in a year's time.

I do feel for those that struggle and try their best. Like single
parents with a deadbeat ex-spouse that pays no child support,
etc. There are certainly cases that do warrant our help. That
said, there are many lazy deadbeats out to scam the system and
live off our tax dollars. Maybe best to identify them and kill
them off. No loss to society, imo.
