These are according to the Brookings Institute - a leftist organization.

1. Don’t have kids out of wedlock
2. Graduate High School
3. Get & keep a job


What if you work full-time and you get sick? Do you realize the leading cause of personal bankruptcies are medical related? I mean if you work full-time and can't afford health insurance or you have a high deductible policy offered by your job and you get a serious illness or if you are in an accident and you can't work how does 1,2, and 3 keep you out of going bankrupt?

Probably covered by the 25% that didn’t reach middle class..this is not a negative message of blame being relayed here, it’s a message of hope..

I suggest you read this article

Your scenario is certainly possibly and happens often not only to poor but also to middle class. Your scenario is based upon something that people cannot control. The only thing that the OP is talking about are things that you CAN control.
