I Have a friend that I've known since my teens. She has two kids.Her parents are well off. She received $3000 for Christmas and a laptop, won $1000 at a casino, had her car note paid for 6 months by friends, gets taken out to dinner,spends $200 on a cellphone, gets money to pay for her rent, has a doctor boyfriend who splurges on her,gets sufficient child support, and only has to work about 2 days per week. Its not fair. She has always been the lucky one when it comes down to finances. She has never once asked me if I need anything?She doesn't have to, but it would be nice. I have a apartment that I must give up because I can't afford the rent, I don't have a car,no cable,internet,used junky furniture, clothes and shoes have holes in them,not alot of food,television screen is now green.She gets everything and doesn' have to work for it. A perfect life. I will be going to college sometime in the future, but I am worried about the loans that will be acquired.Why do the rich get richer?

I am trying to get out of poverty, but always get thrown a rock. I can't save because I do not have any disposable income. Everything goes to bills.It takes money to make money

Well I have a friend kind of like that and I used to be envious but it has changed. I grew up in a mentally/physically abusive household, and her parents are still happily married. I moved at least 3 times a year and she had a nice house. I got married and divorced and she's marrying her high school sweethart next year after 8 years of dating. Hell take it for what it's worth. You're becoming a more interesting, stronger and compassionate person and well she has had everything too easy and in the end...it may end up biting her in the butt. Self sufficiency is something everyone should have to learn.

You make your luck. You do it by being smart, being in control of you, and working hard. Most don't want to work hard. And yes, some people are born with a silver spoon... but some are born with no arms or legs.
