For some it can be as easy as changing their spending habits, for others there are more complex or a greater number of obstacles that may be in their way. But each person needs industry and perseverance to figure out what that is and to figure out how they can overcome. For some, they won't be able to do it without help. We need to be teaching our kids to problem solve, to think for themselves, how things like debt, interest and money work, and how they can make their way despite setbacks and obstacles. And how it doesn't matter what someone else has because there will always be someone with more than you.
So you honestly think that middle class wages became stagnate in the 1970's because of the way the individual people in the middle class started behaving. You think the great depression in the 1930's was caused by millions of individuals making bad decisions all at the same time. You don't think the economic situation of the middle class has anything to do with foreign competition, the tax code, or government policy of any type?
You must have been really confused during the last election when every single person was talking about government policy to help the struggling middle class. You honestly had no clue what any of them were talking about.
