How not to be poor

I just returned home after speaking at a graduation dinner held at one of our sister churches. Among other things, I shared something with the graduates that was recently reported in a study done by Walter Williams.

Williams studied the major causes of poverty and he surmised four important things young people must do if they want to avoid becoming poor. Here they are:

1. Graduate from High School.
2. Be willing to work any job, even if the pay is initially lower than what you had hoped for.
3. Don't get pregnant until you're married and once you're married, stay married.
4. Avoid criminal activity.

Sound advice.
