I grew up in post communist country, we were poor even if my parents work fulled time and then after work on my grandparents farm. This women from video is not poor! Look at her apartment... She probably can't afford all she wants but that's not poverty. Example spotted. Her freezer is full of fries, its several times less expensive to buy potatoes and cut them... She is not poor, she just want life of rich people. She said she work 5 days a week but how many hours? She said, she has 3 kids, where is dad? She is not that young, so I guss those kids might be in age, that you can work part time. I was Woking as a teenager. No shame on that, I was proud of myself. I am 37 now and earn quite a lot now, I was alway learning and working a lot. First jobs were like 1-1.5eur/hr. bus ticket at that time was 0.5eur... This is poverty, not what that women presents. She even said, we not look like poor but we are, nope she is just not poor.

She doesn't want to live rich, she's struggling to live in lower working class. Having fries in the freezer hardly means she's trying to live rich and, unfortunately, not everyone knows how to cook from scratch. I cook 90% from scratch and have 85p left for this month, as we had extra outgoing this month. It's not usually this tight, but we never have anything leftover. I shop smarter than most, but basic, unprocessed foods for the most part ,utilise things like dried beans, lentils, and basic rice to stretch meals, I've been making bread products at home, bulk make things for the freezer when I can, forage berries in the summer to freeze or turn into homemade jam.....frugality isn't even enough.

@@MrsBrit1 when you don't earn much you have to cut something, that's all. I don't think peeling potatoes is difficult. Instead of buying she can do it on her own. You can also think about moving to smaller place - less to heat etc. It's not great but it is what it is. I grew being poor but we were never hungry as my parents were resoursfull, I mean they know how to menage poverty. We eat what was seasonal (cheapest) and honestly food was great - home made. Making excuses - maybe she can't cook, is funny as she should learn!

Working in unskilled labor jobs that were never designed to support a person, what do you expect? Not every job is there to support a household. People are working in supplemental employment expecting it to pay the entire cost of living. Thats just not the way it works. You need to get an education that provides you with a skill that pays all the bills!

My mom got up 2 hours before us to start a fire in the wood heater outside. That also heated the hot water for us to get ready for school (Hardy Wood Heater). She’d gotten dad off to work, before we woke, while still dark out. A Railroad worker, he was gone a lot, sometimes a week at the time. She packed our lunches with a handwritten note, and little picture she’d draw us. She then sat our clothes out, on a chair, and our bath towel laying over the back rest, all near the den’s oil heater. She’d make us breakfast if we wanted it, and even put our back packs on our backs, and complained of how heavy they were, that we had to lug them, and we hugged and kissed her telling her they were fine, and off to wait on the rural county bus. Then she got ready for work, serving school lunches at a Private School in another county. She was never to tired to cook us a full supper, each night and complete the cycle. I miss her everyday. No one will ever love me the way that woman loved me, never again in my life. And she died way too soon to reward her for being such an amazing mom. The night before she died, she was ordering my wife and I, our Christmas Presents, for a Christmas she wouldn’t live to see. Lord, thank you for letting me get these words out❤, I haven’t mourned her properly. Shock is giving way to grief now, and as I’m always late, it’s years later, and I’m alone working in Chile, left with my thoughts. Homesick for a home in MS that is long gone now. When my brother died, at 17 in a car accident on his way to work, they found all those letters in a Cedar Chest in his room. Even my notes. He made notations on some of them(last day of school, Kyle’s Birthday, my birthday, day before Vacation!, day after Kyle’s Soccer Championship, etc. I was the richest poor boy in Mississippi, because of her.

Here in America everything, and I mean everything has become more expensive. Food, taxes, utilities, gas, you name it. The market is abysmal and people like me and my partner of 24 years are starting to worry we won't have enough money to carry us through old age and we are already in our early 60s.

But for a lot of people it is their own fault, they buy everything on credit cards and only pay rent, and they take money out of their 401 R what is for their pension, but never return the money back. I am Dutch and we buy almost everything with our debit card, Our pensions we pay to the Insurance compagny, but we can not take money out of it. So you will have about 70 % of your last salary. I can understand that you are afraid, i can only say to you pay of your credit card debt. and save more money. Other wise you have to work after your pension, and that is awfull. I wish you the best wishes, and take care of each other.

This is not happening by accident, if anyone's seen the video of that millionaire Australian property developer's "mask off" Ted Talk, they will know what I'm talking about. We have a government that aren't just letting this happen, they're making it happen and their friends are getting very rich.

If the poor have any kind of safety net then we won’t be desperate enough to take the worst jobs at the lowest wages, and then employers would have to pay reasonable wages to tempt us in, and then the CEO wouldn’t be able to afford that third super yacht

@@john-fr5yd Saving habits? What do they save every week? I'm not sure what you mean by lavish lifestyles... I don't see that in this video. If those who are in poverty buy marijuana or something similar, it is to escape reality. I'm not saying it is right to buy drugs, but poverty is much harder to get out of than it might initially seem. If someone has an extra $30, they want an immediate escape because that is more tangible than some long term goal that they don't see as possible.

The most memorable things of my child were when we struggled and the creativity it produced. Poverty is not all that bad if there is enough to eat (even if it is from grocery dumpsters) and a place to stay. What is poverty? Not having wants while all that is needed is needs. We laugh about the times and they get us though current struggles. What we need are smiles and belief that we can get through. What is sad is all those who are just learning about how hard others had it for many years before -- I guess there are less people laughing at us -- but still people laugh and mock and I for one don't care about them. My child wants to write a book about our adventures and creativity. I just finished Legacy of the Gold which is the struggles of nature because of man's greed and lack of appreciation. Maybe set aside all those techy toys and share in one another and whatever there is. It is so easy to open a wallet but creativity is in not having a wallet to open. Experience and be joyful -- you might be amazed even when minimum wage is what we have.

I don't want to come off sounding overly harsh against people really struggling and doing what they think is their best, but... living and survival has never been easy since the birth of mankind. I think living in peaceful developed countries for a few generations has already made us forget that less than 100 years ago, some of us even have living grandparents that experienced a world war, saw the a-bomb go off, commuinism and democracy go to war, and suffered through a great depression. If you can talk about how life is hard from the comfort of your home, have food in your freezer, with water and gas, and a government you can try to petition for help... you're technically more privileged than like +80% of the world now and more privileged than most of the world back then. All I'm saying is that life being super duper hard is not an accident or someone's mistake, it's almost the natural state of existence.

The Government needs to cap rent ,to limit the sale prices of property and also give a tax break to tenants so if you pay 10k rent a year that is tax-free in your wages But all governments are afraid to interfere in the capitalist system apart from taking more tax from it. The whole system is double or triple tax ,you are paying rent on money taxed from your wages to a landlord then he is taxed on that taxed money same as vat in any shop you are paying 21% vat on money already taxed at source from your wages truth is slavery was never abolished it was merely better disguised.

That doesn't help. The government just spends it on migrants and war.

What makes me angry is the lack of any solution, there are no opportunities to grow, no chance of escaping this. It annoys me further that people still look for government to solve their problems, just stop. No political party is going to save us. They are the same party flying different colours. There is no hope in politics, and I am done looking for solutions in it. So if anyone has any solution that does not involve the government, we want to hear it.

@@rossm2853 wealth taxes have never worked. Anywhere, at any time. In fact, I would go as far as to say its this anti-wealth sentiment that is exactly the cause of many of our problems. There are no incentives within the UK that actually drive investment, hard work and productivity. Gifted doctors in the UK find work abroad because the quality of life and pay are superior in other countries. The cream of the crop rise to the top, which is not here, while we get everyone else who cannot find work elsewhere. In other words, we get the bottom of the barrel. When you have an attitude, law and policy that chases away people with wealth or skills that would bring wealth to the country, you have setup a system where you will get poorer and poorer. We need more incentives, not less.

@@billmaster1157 No the problem is the super wealthy will own everything. They own the assets, land, multiple houses, shares. Wealth is built through owning these assets. If they aren't taxed there wealth continues to grow and they continue to buy more. Normal working people can't compete. I'm not talking about taxing working people more ie doctors, I'm talking about a wealth tax targeting those (who predominantly) not working with say £10 million or more in assets. This is who needs to start pay.

@@rossm2853 this is beside the point. I was specifically asking for a solution *without* government. Ie no taxes Also, thats really stupid. The wealthy can only stay wealthy by constantly buying, selling, innovating and competing. Without an impetus, there is no source of wealth. That impetus is always an incentive to improve ones condition above what already exists, which requires a constant raising of the lowest standard with the highest. Besides. Its always happened that a wealth tax always see the wealthy selling off their assets and moving elsewhere. California tried this recently where this happened exactly and ended up losing a source of tax revenue.
