I thought it funny that having to share an apartment with my sister, overburdened with student loan debt, driving a truck that's about to fall apart, and can't afford a new vehicle if it does, should be paying more. Keep in mind I also work 40 hours a week as a full time manager. Yet, he felt I wasn't spending my money wisely and that's why. He sent me an awful video hosted by Drew Carey that showed all these "working class poor" people with giant houses and big boats, all saying they managed to get all this stuff with meager wages. So it's all the poor people's fault. <br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, if someone makes $40 million a year and $39 million is taxed and this person can't live on a $1 million a year, then then it's THEM who can't manage their money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
