Listen up, you young’uns! You wanna stop being poor? Well, it ain’t easy, I tell ya. Life’s harder than a week-old biscuit, but you gotta do somethin’ if you don’t wanna be broke all your life.
First thing’s first, you gotta get some learnin’. Don’t matter if it’s book learnin’ or learnin’ how to fix things. Just learn somethin’ that’ll make you some money. Education, they call it. Fancy word for knowin’ stuff that other folks don’t. That’s how you get a better job, you see? A job that pays more than peanuts.
And don’t be wastin’ your money on silly things. You gotta make a budget. Write down every penny you get and every penny you spend. That’s the first step to getting’ out from poor. Like, you got ten bucks, you write that down. You spend two bucks on candy, you write that down too. See where your money’s goin’.
And don’t spend what you ain’t got! So many young’uns these days think credit cards are free money. Those cards make you even poorer. It’s like a hole you keep digging.
Gotta save money, too. I know, I know, it’s hard when you ain’t got much to begin with. But even a little bit helps. Put a little somethin’ aside every week. Even if it’s just a dollar. It’ll add up, you’ll see. Like puttin’ pennies in a jar. One day, that jar’s gonna be full.
And don’t be buyin’ things you don’t need. You need food, a roof over your head, and clothes on your back. Anything else is just extra. And if you don’t have extra money, don’t buy extra stuff. If you want to stop being poor, you gotta be smart about your money.
- Don’t buy fancy coffee.
- Don’t eat out all the time.
- Don’t buy new clothes every week.
- Walk if you can, don’t always drive.
You gotta work hard, too. Nothin’ in this life comes easy. You gotta put in the effort. Find a job, any job, and work your tail off. Show ’em you’re worth somethin’. You can get a side job, too. Sell cookies, mow lawns, whatever you can do.
And don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are places that can help you if you are really in trouble. Food banks, charities, things like that. Ain’t nothin’ to be ashamed of. We all need a little help sometimes.
It is tough to stop being poor. So many things you can’t do anything about. Just focus on the things you can do. Don’t worry about what you cannot control. Just work hard and save money, you will be fine.
Some folks say you can make money online. I don’t know much about that internet thing. But if you’re good at that computer stuff, maybe you can find somethin’ there. They say there are online jobs. Just be careful, lots of scams out there. Don’t give your money to nobody online. Don’t give them your bank numbers or anything. Be careful!
It ain’t easy, this life. But you gotta keep your chin up. Don’t give up. Keep fightin’. You can get a better life. I know you can. Don’t let nobody tell you different. If you want to stop being poor, you gotta do it yourself. Ain’t nobody gonna do it for you.
Being poor is hard, and it makes you feel bad. But you gotta remember, you ain’t your money. You’re a person, and you’re worth somethin’, no matter how much money you got. You are strong, you work hard, you keep going, and that’s all that matters.
This world ain’t fair. Some folks are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Others gotta work for everythin’ they got. But that’s just how it is. Don’t waste your time worryin’ about what other folks have. Just focus on what you got and what you can do to make things better. If you are smart and you work hard, you can stop being poor. It won’t be easy, but you can do it. I believe in you, even if you don’t believe in yourself. Just keep on keepin’ on, and one day you’ll look back and be proud of how far you’ve come.
You can find ways to make extra cash. Sell your old stuff. Sell things you make. Sell stuff for other people. Just find something to do to bring in a little more money, and that will help you stop being poor.
Life’s a long road, and it ain’t always easy. There will be bumps and detours. But don’t lose your way, you hear? You just keep walking that road. One foot in front of the other. And one day you will be glad you never stop. You will stop being poor.
