Do the Dave Ramsey routine. Pay off debt, build up an emergency fund, pay off the house.
Stay as poor as possible. For heaven sakes, don’t try to get rich or better yourself. By keeping yourself poor, you will not only stay safely below the radar from gov’t oppression, you will get free perks and benefits from the gov’t, as you will have achieved victim status, no wealth, but better yet, victim status. You will be on the high priority list for handouts. You will be beloved as long as you don’t get an uppity attitude, unless it is to squawk about the rich.
