I'm flat broke but I'd never describe myself as struggling or on struggle street. And btw AINT NOTHING COOL ABOUT IT Then why do people seem to think struggling makes them noble or good? I think struggling to pay your bills indicates a degree of financial illiteracy. I'm not having fun at your expense but maybe you need help setting a budget? I'd be happy to help you with budgeting. I agree. We live below the poverty level but no one would really know it. We budget, pay our bills (which are few), plan meals cooking and eating at home most days, go out to eat once a week, work on my paid for vehicles to keep them running etc. Go to the state park on the lake for swimming (frequently during the summer), hiking etc - inexpensive but fun activities. Life is good. Last Edited by New World Man on 07/27/2018 08:55 AM |

I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that elite families have structured the wealth distribution system to be fully-rigged in their favor for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years now. Or are you here to tell us that working full time at McDonald's will get people rich? The idiocy of some, still never ceases to amaze me. I don’t spend my day hating ANYONE. And if making me “rich” in money means I become obsessed with it and take away my focus on what’s really important, I will take “broke” anytime NO! My name is NOT spelled wrong. Grab a dictionary.

People want options and right now the options are basically be a giant ass kissing piece of shit and you'll make money. Can't blame people for tiring of the game. |
