It's my fault, not those who chose a different path to financial success. If I was a better student in high school my job options (quality job, quantity money) for making money would have greatly increased. Plus my lack of motivation at age 18 did not help my decision making skills.  If my parents during my school years required me to learn, do my homework, study the subject I may have been hired at a higher paying job than not?     So parents of less financial means, do as you must to make your children have a better start than you. I don’t blame my parents, they didn’t understand the importance of learning in high school or how to properly motivate me in self esteem or self improvement. Those tools they did not know, but could they work long hour with very low pay to just make things better for us kids. On my 18th birthday that day and everyone after that I woke up and made my own decisions on my life for that day or my future, not one financially well off person told me to drink a gallons of beer everyday (weekend two gallons, not that I worked) or force me to smoke a national forest of weed or demand I only apply myself to self destructing of my future earnings. So when I hear people blame their financial woes on the rich, I don’t understand how they can legitimize that statement. How many poor people make jobs for other people? How many rich people make jobs for people? When my decision making skills improved and my desire for a better quality life happened, I became the person who I am today. I’m a proud American who served in the navy for 22yrs 7months. Fully retired at 54. Make America Great Again by making your children better off than you.
