I may not agree with a lot of things that Don Lemon says, politically. But I agree on this.

Dr. Thomas Sowell, the world renown 90 year old economist and commentator (who has been black all his life), said the top three are:

1. Staying in School, at least graduating high school.

2. Hold a full time job

3. Wait until you are married to have children.

If you do all 3 things, there is only a 5% chance you will stay in poverty. That is the ticket to the middle class.
