Also, most younger adults are more focused on having the latest and greatest cell phone, new car, or buying those $7.00 coffees every day. Most of the young people I know, my children included, that have a mind to work, determination, and their priorities in order, are buying homes and raising families. Now, I will say that those type of young people are definitely in the minority.


Name one check the government is giving out cause id like to know. I hear people talking about living off the government but yet never explain exactly what it is they are giving away. A phone and a $150 in food stamps per person ain't stopping people from working.
Well since I've never received one, I will have to look into it. I posted the stat that 23% of Alabama's income is government assistance. What are you looking for?

The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.
