of course they are.

and some will be more or less challenging depending on one's background/upbringing.

but if you follow that basic game-plan, you will radically reduce your chances of getting trapped in the poverty cycle.



few things have improved my lot in life more than getting hitched. overnight, my income went from x to 2x.

granted, that was for two people instead of one, but we we're still just one household (one rent check, one electric bill, one cable bill, etc.).

the multiplier effect of a double income household is ridiculous, but you gotta stay married because divorce undoes all of that, along with being really effing expensive in and of itself.
