What, condolences and sympathy? That's not better than a few checks.

  Work, generally. It's a network of people that will vouch for you (with little or no evidence of your worth), or simply employ you.

    Oh, it's that easy? I can just ask my poverty-stricken family to bootstrap me out of my poorness because they'll hire me to do the jobs they don't have? I'm the highest-paid person in my family. You think I can go to my boss and say "Hire my brother, he's been a gas-station attendant for 6 years. Probably he's a great programmer." It's easy to not be poor when you come from a family with wealth and hiring power. If you are poor, it's probably because you don't have either. You'd think that would be obvious.
