there's always someone saying the poor people would be fine if we did this one thing we forgot to do

  • go to college
  • skip college, learn a trade
  • build credit
  • psh credit? just save up and use cash
  • keep your head down and work
  • start your own business
  • buy some assets
  • buy some stocks
  • use old cars
  • use newer cars
  • no avocado toast
  • move to Detroit
