I think people can establish a good living in society today – at least if they have an address. I feel people who can barely afford basic needs are most likely not trying to change a thing. You can have more than one job and find very cheap places to live. My mom’s friend lived with us for two years. She did not have to pay rent and barely bought her own food. She used our shampoo, our laundry detergent – and she still had no money. She thought drinking would help. Right. We told her it wouldn’t. She had two jobs but barely ever worked. She sat around our house all day. She did not attempt to change things, no matter how much we told her she could. She finally moved out and found a small apartment for $200 a month and came crawling back for money. That’s a good example for lower-class people.
