Having to work endlessly without having anytime for family, your mental, spiritual and physical health is a terrible thing. We weren't meant to do that. The goal is work on creating more value to be able to earn more to be able to support your lifestyle. The show I am currently - Opportunity Knocks on PBS with Jean Chatzky an Pratrice Washington is a great way to see how certain families were able to do that. You can go to www.opportunityknocks.net to stream the show.

Absolutely. I worked in the Barrio of East Los Angeles helping my community after having spent time working with super wealthy individuals. Many years later I have seen how hard work, self-improvement, resiliency and mentors have helped many of my clients (including my parents) achieve financial dignity.

It's a great article you linked to. From my perspective, If you can you can and if you can't you can't. I am the son of Mexican Immigrant parents who came here with nothing and gave their children values of hard work, honesty and resiliency. But I also know that the world is changing rapidly and economically it's a lot harder for people. I have children in their 30's and many successful clients in their 20's and am in tune to what they are going through
