Avoiding Poverty

George Will, "A Poverty of Thought," Washington Post, September 13, 2005. Three not-at-all recondite rules for avoiding poverty: (1) Graduate from high school, (2) don't have a baby until you are married, (3) don't marry while you are a teenager. Among people who obey those rules, poverty is minimal.
