Watching from the UK here. One thing that impresses me about these guys is how they don't seem bitter and don't seek to immediately blame someone or something else for the poverty they're experiencing

My great uncle once said, “ You can still be poor and have a clean house.”

I’m so glad you started doing documentaries instead of pranks nothing against pranks but you cover the TRUTH! And that’s what we need in the USA right now

We need to normalize a simple lifestyle and stop normalizing debt. Huge SUVs, huge houses and private universities are simply not necessary. I live within my budget and I sleep better at night knowing that if I lose my job tomorrow, ' be fine. I didn't buy the biggest house. I bought the one I could comfortably repay

Those kids seemed genuinely stoked to show you a good time lol, they're some real ones

"It's easy to get a job if you show up everyday" is a sentence that seriously stunned me. Give her a Nobel prize already.

Genuine salt of the earth guys you met there. Real people with no entitlement just living their lives and might I say, really polite and respectful. That Logan dude is a total winner at life. Wish more people could be like him. Awesome video! Makes me want to visit the south.

I can relate to the kids, I grew up in a small southern town in Tennessee, the town was poor our family though was pretty well off, but I had very close friends who were poor and barely made it paycheck to paycheck, but we had the best of times, I lived on 60 acres of land and we'd all gather at my place on the weekends and create our own fun. Seeing this reminds me of the best times of my youth.

"Poorest" but they seemed the most genuine people you've shown. These people are my kind of people.

I'm from Kentucky myself, these people definitely know how to live life around here. We all basically treat each other like family in the country parts of KY. Used to live in Manchester, and I quite literally knew everyone there.

Im originally from rural Tennessee, and i left at a young age. I live check to check, but am pretty well set and have no major conplaints but feel like a millionaire every time i go home to visit, i see these folks, talk with, and have a good time with these folks. Its very humbling every time. I love my family there. I love visiting, and honestly am grateful to leave knowing i have it pretty good. Seeing them gain a little more volume here for their voice is awesome. There are some truly great people throughout the region - keep up the work man.

I was born and raised in eastern Ky. Unfortunately that’s the reason why I had to leave and move to Lexington Ky to give my family a good life. Tommy I appreciate you coming there and actually showing people how bad the issue is.

no matter how much i make i don’t think i’ll ever feel as free as those kids man, they’re truly enjoying life

Tommy man, I'm an addict in recovery and it's cool how you show all sides of everything!

As an American, one major issue i noticed is that people don’t live within their means. I lived in a big city making only $2k a month with a child, renting a $700 apt , I saved less than $300 a month, had no credit card debt and paid all my bills on time and had a used car that I paid cash. on the other hand this single person made $4k, complained she can’t afford rent and had to stay with her parents, wanted to eat out every day, drive the biggest car, shop always etc. Kids need to be taught money management so that they are more responsible adults!

Much respect to all of the people in this video! They all seem very genuine and good hearted people!

I grew up with people like this and I can tell you they are some of the strongest people and need no one for anything.

Never stop doing these man! These are so enlightening and eye opening.

This is what we need, truthful no bs reporting/interviews. Those guys are awesome.
