My point was, show me. Or, in my hypothetical case, show that single mom with 2 kids, how to make enough money to support the family. You say there are "abundant options;" I want proof. Examples. Something besides lavish words.

Again, you missed my point. You said to ask the family for support. I asked how to do that. Now you've said to let them react however they want.

I'm sorry, but I'm trying to understand your philosophy and your ideas, and it feels like you're trying to belittle my questions by being verbose and idealistic.

I would really appreciate some honest, practical feedback on how to implement these lofty ideas. From Steve, or from anyone else reading this.
