    That's the purpose of societal safety nets fundamentally. Coming from someone who has lived through abject poverty, I can tell you sincerely that it is not a place that is easy to get out of. In fact, most people simply don't have it in them to do it themselves. The purpose of those programs...

    Preface: I'm a staunch lover of capitalism tl;dr: we're framing the question incorrectly Now, instead of pussy footing about and complaining about "the government" and "the taxes" and the "leftist socialist programs" why don't we address these squarely as the challenges and opportunities they...

    Just go for it. Just go for something, anything you can do right now (as long as it moves the needle). Do whatever little thing you can do right now. There's this concept of an internal flywheel. Accomplish a small thing... it'll give you some spiritual momentum for the next thing... and so...

    Re Jobs: Probably had a lot to do with it. My brothers have more limiting beliefs than I do though and I think that has a lot to do with my being intentional on getting better by hard work. Re Work: Ah yes. It's funny, law of attraction/mental framing/visualization in action. In HS, I used to...

    Assessing need / market validation for new physical product

    Generally speaking, you probably don't need to be too afraid to share specifics on this forum. Mostly good people so far it seems. Plus, if posting your idea on a forum means anyone can steal it from under you with ease, may want to consider how to raise the barrier to entry ;) That being...

    Haha, sort of. I was fortunate enough to get this thing called "The Gates Millennium Scholarship" which was effectively a full-ride anywhere as long as it was STEM. It was a 'last dollar' scholarship on minimum cost of attendance. I ended up with ~40K of debt because I chose to study abroad a...

    I'd say, give it a try. They may not work for you. And that's fine. Truth be told, I only started audiobooks a few months ago and I had the same reservations. How could I do ____ while listening to something. It turns out, the brain is pretty good at learning to do both. Very action oriented...

    Hang in there! That's a rough spot to be in but KEEP GOING. I can't say I have all of the challenges you're facing (so take what I say with a grain of salt and your own analysis), but I like to think I'm good at time. This is long, but I think it's worth it. Bear with me here. There's an old...
