Poverty is a hard cycle to break and overcome without the support and help of others.

I am only putting in about 12 hours a week now, cleaning, but I work the rest of the time pretty hard at home. I am thankful that we have our own business and are paid well!

Your right...it's easy to figure why he thinks he's poor. He wants the money handed to him, and you see it takes hard work to have the material things of this world.

I guess for some it's just not obvious

Words fail me! But I guess many people feel the same - that life somehow owes them a living, and all for nothing.

Re: lustorlove
He's not living off of the government. Pretty amazing if you ask me...He does rent out some rooms to his house, but it's still a struggle to pay the old bills.

It is that some people just never learn OR he sees that people are not
poor even if they don't work as there are other ways of making money, and he's wondering how come he didn't catch the ropes.

I guess in Steve's case it's not just his laziness, its also that he's - well, let's just say he ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer...

Not everyone is like you FSI, so rational in every way. Thanks so much for your visit and yes I reason that way too most times.

I had to chuckle! Of course 12 hours per week will only give back 12 hours! I do hope he catches on! sam

I think Forrest Gump would say, "Lazy is as lazy does."   Do little--have little.  They go together.
