During tough economic times...

[Spare Moody]

those who suffer are typically the ones who are too stupid to have grasped the basic concepts of:

-saving $$$ in diversified investments
-knowing when to have children
-knowing when to get married
-proper health insurance
-college educations that lead to better careers
-striving for the best to progress in careers
-risk analysis
-budgeting


like anything ****ty that happens in your life, it's primarily YOUR FAULT and you should respect that, so you can learn from that, rebuild, and not fall victim to the same hardship.

most rich people have already grasped these concepts and, because of this, are rich and won't be affected as bad as poor people. when **** hits the fan, the poor always suffer. it's the same reason why the wildebeast with the bum leg always gets eaten 1st when the lions are chasing the heard.

so now that we (along with historical evidence within all democratic societies) have established that the poor lose because they're losers, we should focus on NOT BEING a loser instead of demanding sympathy for your ignorance, incompetence, and laziness.

I'm po'. Help a nicca out, Cap. Can you spare some CHANNNNNGE?!?

But you are right, my friend. I've learned the hard way not to live past my financial means. I drive a couple of beaters, and don't wear the nicest clothes. But I always got money in my pocket, and can help out family and friends when they need a quick loan. I'm good right now. I got a nice bird nest to fall back on.

I have a very small birds nest to fall back on most of the time, right now I'm a bit in the whole because I went to Boston and Atlanta this month. I know I should be saving that money, but I'm also at the age where the window of opportunity for trips filled with sports, excessive booze, and strip clubs is closing. I look at it like, if I get killed in a car crash tomorrow, atleast I enjoyed myself as much as possible. I made almost 800 today aerating commercial property, so it's a wash for those trips, atleast thats how I justify it in my head.

That depends on how you look at it and what you believe happens after you pass. But logically yes I agree with you. My point is, ever met someone who is constantly preparing for the next stage in their life? Constantly seeking more status, pay, or something else they think will make them happy, all while life flies by them. That's what I was getting at.
