the car that i have to buy

And minimum wage will get you around 30k a year

GG @Lil Alien Nibba, you just advanced to level 4!

There are cars that sell for 1000 dollars

and i end up paying more for maintence

Will still last for years

while maintaining it

Yes

all these numbers you guys are throwing out

Listen it’s not going to be easy peasy but it’s highly possible

dont make any fucking sense to a poor person

yeah

0.0

its ideal

not realistic

It is realistic

give me a rundown how its realistic

There are homeless people that get on their ass and eventually reach middle class

There are first gen immigrants who work hard and reach middle class

most homelss people have some type of mental illness

Above the poverty line

yeah give me the numbers

im not denying that can happen

people who are poor

often stay poor

OFTEN

They often sustain their income

And their family moves up in the economy generally with each generation
