10 Tips for Poverty Management
Like wealth, poverty needs to be managed.
Rich people seem to always have “experts” who want to help them with their situation in life. Poor people, not so much. With that in mind, here are some things that may make poverty a little more bearable. Keep in mind this is a subject I researched for years, though not on purpose. Things just turned out that way.
1: Use your local library.
I know reading books is seriously old school, but there are videos and other things available at the library to provide entertainment. Besides, going to the library can be an outing for a poor person.
When I was about nine years old my grandfather, a very poor man himself, got me a library card as a gift. It was one of the best presents I ever got.
And in case you’re wondering, the library is that building in your neighborhood with a lot of books in it.
2: Work on developing your relationship with friends and family.
You know that saying, misery loves company. There’s a good chance your social network is in a similar financial situation as you. That’s probably one reason they are in your social network.
