I guess I'm an asshole. I could never date anyone who lived with their parents past 25 unless..
Family has med problems and needs 24/7 support.
Sold a house, in limbo looking for another place....
Or is still a full time student
Starting a business takes a lot, but if I didn't have enough money to start something up while being able to pay my rent or house note, I would never start something up.
Anyone can make great money, it's all in how you go about your life, I broke 60K a year before having a GED. Did I get lucky? no, I worked my ass off. B also makes great money, he also works his ass off just as hard as any other big # making guy. I believe we both feel the same way about people who make little money, it's not because they make less money, it's because we both know if they put enough effort into it, they could make something happen.
someone in their 30s that lives at home.. what does that scream to the assholes like me and B?
That person lacks drive.....
Well, then i'm an asshole too. my gf is an asshole and all my friends are assholes. working hard and being elite doesn't make you an asshole. just scraping by each week doesn't make you a loser. it's just different.yup. exactly. Neither myself nor jeffie hold degrees. I'm a product of public school education. If i can do it, any one can. Maybe not in my field, but in another field that they are good at.
i used 2 vacation days last year when i went on that fishing trip. that's it. i called out sick a couple times, sure... but i at least worked for a little while from home, checking email etc.
I'm 28, and broke 6 figures this year... and then some. And i'm a college drop out.
work hard now, retire at 45. enjoy life until you're dead.

i don't look down on people who choose a different lifestyle, i applaud them for being happy. i look down on those who complain about people who work hard while they do nothing.no, that doesnt make you an asshole.
your perception and the way you treat others make you an asshole..
hardwork should be applauded, lazy people should not.
but you dont have to look down and condescend upon those who might have had worse luck or made mistakes in their life.
then youre not an asshole.i don't look down on people who choose a different lifestyle, i applaud them for being happy. i look down on those who complain about people who work hard while they do nothing.
Dare I inject the word "happiness"?
.

I can certainly applaud those who do what they love and make damn good money doing it, I hope to get there some day. But to those who are miserable and have traded their lives for a healthy paycheck so they can report big numbers and gloat.. You lose. You should step back and evaluate your quality of life.
exactly.
its just money.
do you know how many people work their ass off, make hella money and just submerse themselves in work just to get ahead in life then look back and wish theyd done everything different..
ever see that movie with nicolas cage?
i would rather look back with a shitload of money than die broke in a nursing home wishing i did something with my life.
I grew up in a dumpster. hence my bitterness.You need a vacation in a dumpster. You really do.

like the thousands of millionaires who have lost their fortunes with fraudulents investments ? All the people who lost their shirts in a 401K from corrupt corporations ?
Yeah. They're idiots, aren't they ?
You need a vacation in a dumpster. You really do.
I have a solid plan in place to retire very well. On an average income. It can be done if you have common sense and diligence.
Im lost, whos that directed at?
