Poverty

When families don’t have enough money to buy the things they need, life can become challenging. If this happened when you were a child, you might not have fully understood the hardships your parents were facing. Nonetheless, growing up with limited financial resources affects everyone who experiences it. Even as adults, those who grew up in such circumstances often remember specific situations and childhood memories that have left a lasting impact.

We live in a world where most of the things we want are just one click away. From products to services, we can access everything on the web. What about the jobs we want to have — will they be replaced by AI soon? Experts say about 300 million of them will be. Change is the only constant in our lives and when it comes to jobs, we felt inspired to go back to the old times and see what were the most interesting occupations that have vanished or just turned into a nice read in a history book.

It’s hard to believe that Oprah Winfrey used to wear potato sacks instead of clothes and that Halle Berry once lived in a shelter. It’s easy to assume that the richest celebrities have always had a life with no worries and everything was given to them on a silver platter. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth, as some celebrities know exactly what it’s like to be hungry and poor.

Most of us assume that celebrities lead easy lives. We truly believe that at a certain point, stardom just knocked on their door and gifted them riches and success. But that was not the case for Pedro Pascal who had to go through poverty, insecurity, and a lot of struggles before achieving his goals and becoming the brilliant actor we know him today.

People who were poor during their childhood or teen years revealed what surprised them the most when they finally didn’t have to count every penny anymore.

In life, we don’t often give ourselves enough credit for the things we actually can do. On the other hand, our past doesn’t have to determine who we will become, nor interfere with our dreams and achievements, and Woody Harrelson is living proof of that. In fact, the actor has proven himself to be one of Hollywood’s most talented and versatile actors, but his early life has been anything but typical.

Eva has been in the spotlight for more than 20 years. You’ll find Gabrielle Solis from Desperate Housewives among her most beloved characters. That’s probably the role that launched her to fame.

Growing up with very little money certainly shapes our future and the way we view things. And it might create a stronger motivation to succeed in life and reinforce our determination and focus to achieve bigger goals. And when we look at people who came from nothing and made it big, we notice that most of them never forgot their past and are always ready to support others. Because no one knows the way to fight poverty better than someone who has experienced it firsthand.

Solo parents are typically single mothers, but there are also 2,251,000 households run by single dads.

Being born with a silver spoon sounds like a dream. But in the long run, the privilege of coming from money can turn into our biggest misfortune. Because having everything we wish for by default deprives us of the euphoria we get after achieving things ourselves. And no one understands this better than those stars who have worked hard to reach their level of success. And this is why many of them are determined to make their kids follow the path of perseverance rather than luxury.

Research shows that 92% of working moms and 89% of stay-at-home moms feel overwhelmed by work, home, and, most importantly, parenting responsibilities.

We often tend to think that celebrities are born under a lucky star and their lives are free of struggles that ordinary people face. However, in many cases, that is far from true. There are quite a few superstars out there whose childhoods resemble the scenes of horror movies. Luckily, all of them were strong and fortunate enough to overcome the challenges they were exposed to at such a young age.

We all know Sophia Loren as a gorgeous and talented actress who has achieved great success and the love of millions of admirers all over the world. However, her life hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing, and she still finds it painful to talk about some events from her past. Still, she managed to endure all of these hardships and show the world what a strong person she is.

Kindness is a choice, but for people like Hugh Jackman and Rihanna, it comes naturally.

Many of our favorite stars have proven that they deserve our love not just for their work but also for their charitable spirit.

One of the characters of Wall Street movie once said, “When you’ve had money and lost it, it can be much worse than never having had it at all!” People who are not used to thinking about money will definitely find it hard to tighten their belts.
