They were the first generation in their families to graduate from college and to work at salary-paying jobs: Adrian, Deshaun, Earl, and Fiona. They've found out that after the climb, then comes the real struggle to stay Out of the Barrel.

A crab can be anyone in your life; an acquaintance, family, friend, or stranger. Know the crabs in your barrel.

There's the Pincher; who wants your spare change.
There's the Puller; who begs for what they need.
There's the Grabber; who steals and takes.
There's the Hater; who has their hand out, to hold on.

Know your crabs, in order to get free of their financial hold on you.

From Lawrence Christopher; the author of the Mick Hart Mysteries, Ghettoway Weekend, Later Days and Nights and the Tickle Fingers children's' book.
