A lot of people aren't aware of their options. That starting a business is super simple is something that I had no idea about, and even the prospect of dealing with bureaucracy and paperwork can make the whole endeavour feel daunting and off putting. There's also financial safety / lack of a safety net - ideally you could fall back to family, but no one really wants to fall back to friends, or worse, no one. This means a lot of people choose shitty jobs over rewarding but risky jobs or endeavor. And for the stock market, working an average job means you should really be investing into a Roth 401k, though I know some people who invest into realty. It's kinda like telling a depressed person "just smile and don't let the small things bother you!" Progress can be hard for people for various reasons. That said, I agree with what some one else said else where, that I mostly actually care about is to make sure every one can afford what they NEED to without going to extremes - I know a person in the military who had to eat of dumpsters to survive as a kid, and someone who was living on the doorstep of their recruiter until they got in. There are places in the US that have third world living conditions: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/alabama-un-pov... As a side, I had brought this up with someone before, and they told me that maybe it's a good thing for children to be hungry and eat from dumpsters because then they'll be motivated and work hard as adults. Ah, thanks the comment back, I enjoy discussing things with purple who have a different opinion. |

Then I'm happy to inform you, and you can pass it along.

It can be even simpler. Go door to door and offer to mow lawns, or clean, or tutoring. When I was a kid I'd mail order candy that wasn't available locally and sell it at school. My brother would tune up peoples' cars in their driveways.
