The world today as we know it has changed, surprisingly the "American Dream" is now looked upon as living paycheck to paycheck barley making it to live as we want to.. A majority of people say. to themselves everyday that they want to become financially stable but in this economy we it's almost impossible even with a college degree. Logically you would think with a college degree I can make good money but nowadays you can barley find a job in the field that you have your degree.
We become pushed into this economic failure known to us AS POVERTY. How do you overcome these hard economic times making minimum wage supporting a family of 3 besides working 2 jobs with a lack of sleep? Then you come into your place of. business or your facility that you work in to become irritated by lack of communication only to be told what to do and what not to do by under paid "superiors" that. lack the actual knowledge of the jobs in the facility. Like I tell people all the time micromanaging people and actually working the job and knowing all the hazards and economic downfalls of the job is not motivating me to come to work everyday. The only motivation that we as people have is our families that we have to support. My American dream is not to become financially stable, it is to make a fairly decent wage that I can support my family and be able to maintain a fairly decent lifestyle.
Our government,, CEOs, supervisors and managers. expect us to enjoy working daily but I would assume you would love working when I have no clue what poverty is. For example in the Tyler Perry Movie entitled good deeds he was the CEO of his family business and a lady asked him "when is the last time you actually worried about paying a bill" and "how much does a gallon of milk cost"? His response. was that he didn't. know. When your at the top for so long you don't realize what the people who actually put in those long hours daily go thru in order to support their families. You don't understand the economic downfalls to this position.
In closing the only way to avoid poverty as we know it is to use the motivation inside your homes. Let then guide you daily and be the reason you go to work with your head held high,, let them understand that this is only the beginning to your journey for success. Find your correct path and maintain. that lifestyle that you would like. to see yourself in the future. But remember do not live beyond your means and rule number 1 pride will leave you broke, never let pride get in the way of your finances or your happiness.
