he hired a lawyer...... bully and scare
He hired a cheap lawyer. He is cheap. If he has the dough, he would have hired one of the top lawyers.

If I was useless, I wouldn't have ex colleagues and friends coming to me for assistance regarding retirement planning. I have helped a handful of people to retire early and they are extremely grateful for the invaluable advice I gave.
The difference between helping the poor and helping the reasonably well off is huge. The poor refuse to help themselves. The wealthier go all out to make their lives and those of their loved ones better and will absorb any good advice with gusto.
But guess what? She is rich as fuck today. Not everyone poor is like your portrayal.
My advice was very basic to start of with and the reason for their financial strife was there for all to see.
My opening salvo was simple because all the families I was assigned to were drinkers, smokers or both. A couple played the pokies 3 to 4 times a week too. The first thing the were told to do was to cut down smoking to half a pack or less a day (10 sticks) and to stop drinking on weekdays and Sundays. Friday and Saturday they could let their hair down.
NOT a single family could follow this simple rule. The all blew more than 30% of what they earned every week on vices. They would then complain that the government was heartless because they didn't pay their electricity bills and their power was cut.
I put up with this crap for almost 2 years and gave up feeling deeply disappointed with the human race especially the poor.
This is proof that you don't need to help the poor. They are capable of helping themselves if they set their minds to it.
If everyone is like her, your thesis is true.
Not everyone is like her but everyone is capable of breaking out of the poverty trap by following three simple rules :
1. Set goals.
2. Develop the willpower to change bad habits.
3. Focus on achieving milestones.
All the "disadvantaged" I've attempted to help (more than a dozen families) lacked these qualities. They all had basic prerequisites for success. They weren't retarded. They were not physically or mentally disabled in any way. However, they did not have an iota of willpower needed to change their habits.
They couldn't stop drinking, they couldn't stop smoking and they couldn't even perform the 30 minute exercise routine that I developed for them to improve their sense of wellbeing.

lets be circumspect about this whole thing. while I agree this Brit is a snob and shit head with low IQ, I also find some of the vitriolic comments here too caustic as it is probab;y sourgrapes . what if the comments have come from a local sinkie? people would prob not create so much fuss. overall there is alot of truth in what he said about the stench of public transport. I took the MRt and it is filled with low class FT shits from india, bangla and china who put up there smelly feet on the seat, pick thehir nose in public, sit on the floor, occupy 2 or 3 seats, spit on floor , smells of shit, and sweat and is over packed at peak hhours. those who deny it obviously does not take public transport. but this anton guy is really stupid and have no class. although what he said has some truth(and the truth hurts), he should have not brag about his car and called other people poor. typical low class brits you find so common in UK.
low class brit? But Bernice say he very high class and mature woh.
Yes hard work, discipline, taking responsibility and talent are all important. But to put it crudely, luck plays is tremendously important too and..... fickle. Sometimes you just need to be in the right place at the right time for things to work out.
