Poor people problems

I tell my sister she has rich people problems, and that I have middle class people problems (a friend of mine came up with the funny term).  Then I read this article and I thought about poor people problems.

No money for education or retirement.  It's sad and scary and it makes me feel awful about their prospects for the future.

How can they (or their children) ever get out of their station, if they can't invest in education or their future?

Sadness.  I wish there was a way to make it better.  Then again, we don't live in an egalitarian or Utopian society.
