As Mustachians we should probably ignore these types of stories completely. It's the whole "life just happened to me," mentality. They have no choices, no hope for improvement, no desire to change themselves or their thinking to get ahead, no personal responsibility, it's society's fault, the economy's fault, the immigrants' fault, the greedy banks' fault, the minimum wage's fault, there's nothing I can do to make things better, life happened and I had nothing to do with it, etc, etc.
We're all better than that. We can pull up our bootstraps, learn something new if we need to, work actively on improving our own lives, our careers, build things, work hard, study, move if need be, teach proper moral values to our children... You know? We focus on the good qualities of self-empowerment. Leave the sad sacks and dead weight behind us.
