[quote=Anonymous]So meany people are bragging about themselves, especially the people that came here as immigrants.  You'd think the recent immigrants would be more understanding but they're actually some of the worst posts here.  They're acting like they represent some immigrant norm.  That isn't the case at all.  We have a million immigrants come to the USA every year so obviously some are going to succeed but there isn't some magical immigrant mindset that made that happen.  Most will not be rich.

I read a post where someone said that everyone should go overseas to see how lucky they are.  That very comment shows how out of touch that poster is.  As the OP said, most Americans cannot afford a $500 emergency.  How do you think they can afford to go overseas?  They cannot.  That's why less than half of all Americans even have passports.  I've personally never left the country and never owned a passport.  I go on vacations in America.  I haven't flown on a plane in 15 years, I drive everywhere.  Plane tickets are expensive.  It's much cheaper to drive 1500 miles with a family of four and stay a couple nights in a hotel on the way to visit family.  [/quote]
