Leading sociologists have discovered something they call the Success Sequence. It is as close to a magic formula for avoiding poverty as can be found. And it is certainly something all parents should know about because it affects the lives and future of our children and how they can almost guarantee never living in poverty as they enter young adulthood. It involves three relatively simple steps.
Finish high school.
Maintain a full-time job once you finish school.
Get married before you have children and stay married.
College is not even a necessity for success.
