How do you not be poor anymore?

The best way is to set a goal for youself, get a good education/training, and find a good job. You can do this if you try. You can't expect someone to do it for you. I had to put myself through college. It wasn't easy and there were times I wasn't sure I would finish, but I kept at it and did finish. Decide to do something, get going, and do it.
