Visiting the Poorest County in America (2023 Edition)

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

4:51-4:56 "So what could be done to help people that are living paycheck to paycheck?" "Bigger paycheck." My man's spittin'

My Dad always said you dont have to be Rich to be clean.

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

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

Im an old homeless guy living in a van near the river and I am very happy and at peace now. I am a man of faith and I have a wonderful group of friends that are n'y family. Life is very very good.

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.

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

"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.

9:11...Wow...That is surely one HELL of a view! Fellow Kentuckian here...sadly I'm in a more urban area. Though I DO live on a farm, and am constantly around the most beautiful of animals...🐎 The great Secretariat is buried not even a mile from my area. Those McCreary County folks may be poor monetarily...Hell, as are myself and MY Family; just scraping by from Month to Month...Having to rely on Credit Cards....but as Kenneth I believe He said His name was - He hit the nail on the head. Having little financial capital doesn't necessarily mean you and your Family are "POOR"...Yeah, money helps a LOT in life. Though if you have a loving Family, good Friends, pets you love and that love YOU, hobbies....and above all...FREEDOM...You're a wealthy man or woman. Love my fellow Kentuckians, my fellow Americans....and my fellow Humans. Lets all try to show one another more love and respect in this thing we call "Life"....

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

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.

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

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

Not one of them with a cell phone in their hand. Just pure wholesome fun and interacting with eachother. Real ones.

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

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

Respect and live to every single person interviewed. Praying for you all that something turns around for the better💙

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!
