How Not To Be Poor

From The Brookings Institute; There are only 3 simple rules you must follow to almost guarantee you will not end up in poverty.  "At least finish high school, get a full-time job and wait until age 21 to get married and have children.  Our research shows that of American adults who followed these three simple rules, only about 2 percent are in poverty and nearly 75 percent have joined the middle class (defined as earning around $55,000 or more per year)."

These rules should be taught in school from elementary to high school.  We should teach it in our homes and churches.   This is simple and yet powerful.
