(3,335 posts)the LA inner city. As the 5th of 9 children born to parents with just a high school education, but who insisted that their kids were going to go to college. Both my parents had two jobs, my dad two full-time jobs Monday through Friday. My mother a full time job, Monday through Friday in a sweatbox industrial laundrymat across the street from our house, and cleaned houses for wealthy people in Beverly Hills on Saturday. We rested on Sunday. BTW, all 9 of their kids went to college, through a variety of means, and everyone of them paid off their own debt. My family was poorer than a church mouse, as the saying goes, so don't lecture me. Our lives were far from perfect, but we made it because of the values our parents instilled in us; primarily that the world didn't owe us anything because we were born. If we wanted something in life, we needed to work for it.
