hmm I dont know about easy. I grew up very poor and when moved to another country I seen my parents work their asses off to better things for me and my siblings. I think that is the greatest thing i took from my parents and that is working hard and not expecting handouts. If you want a good life, you work for it.
I work 2 jobs and have my own small growing business and out of that i have a very comfortable life now and have much comfort in knowing i am providing for my child and hopefully he will take what i did from my parents and pass that down to his children when the time comes
