You talked about burdens...credit card debt has been the biggest burden in my life. I made stupid mistakes in my 20's and have spent the whole of my 30's paying for them. The debt has dictated what jobs I take, where I live, how I spend my free time. Beware, young people of getting into debt. It's a killer and drains you. On the upside I will be free in 2 years but what a waste of a whole decade of my life!
How about individuals who leave the ghetto as teenagers for what ever reason. But choose to return not for change but to contribute to the problems. I think it's really about getting out of the "ghetto mindset". Changing the way you look at life and how you handle situations.
