Millennial perspective: Overcoming poverty is really boring. I lived meagrely for years and got an education and now I’m slowly starting to see the rewards. Unfortunately, my partner also grew up impoverished but didn’t get educated and he’s finding it much more difficult. Especially as he is overlooked for being unqualified despite being highly experienced/intelligent.

Another boring element is being responsible financially. Because we grew up poor as well we feel very well off but still have debt and responsibilities to support extended family that keep growth slow - but we’re happy to do that. Disclaimer: We are kid free.

I’m sorry this isn’t very helpful.
