“Another thing that’s affecting young people today is that some young people live above their incomes, you can’t be earning One Hundred United States Dollars and you want to live in an apartment that cost One Hundred and fifty dollars monthly, so where are you going to get the extra money, this leads to insincerity, the youthful Montserrado County Lawmaker told the graduates.
