Thanks for sharing! This was my favorite paragraph in the article:

"Although the report outlines the broad financial circumstances of the working poor, it attributes them to "bad jobs" and a failure of government programs. What the report misses is the other side of being broke, as many in the Women in Red can testify. That's when your economic stress is partly, if not primarily, of your own making."

I'm one of the people that think that a lot of the struggles of the working poor could be solved by proper financial education and management. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people like to blame everyone but themselves for their situations and don't want to assume any responsibility.
