We'll agree to disagree, only because many who were in the same situation I was chose not to put in as much effort or sacrifice to get out of it. Statistically speaking though, yes we are both correct.
Many of the people I grew up with are still there and will continue the generational decline with their children perpetuating the problem. However, those who that were truly determined to rise out of that shithole, did so. Not because of divine intervention, but they put their asses in gear, broke their backs and got the hell out. :fuckyeah:
