[quote=Anonymous]21:28 - NP here.  I have to agree.  We are in a similar situation.

People who do not make as much so very often want to LOOK like they do by spending their money on those things mentioned. It is obvious and pathetic.  If they only thought about the ramifications of their selfishness.  It only hurts themselves in the end.

I have actually heard less qualified job applicants try to tell me "I have to make this amount".  Well yeah, don't we all? Is my response.  Take a good look at your lifestyle and the changes you have to make to be happier.  Buying this car or that jewelry will not make you happier, contrary to your belief.  You may never reach that unrealistic goal of making "this" obscene amount of money.  Maybe it is just not meant to be.  You probably need better qualifications.  Buying less will give you less stress, if nothing else.

The multiple "how do I get rich quick/make all this money for few hours" posts are nauseating and offensive to those of us who actually work for a living and our paying our dues and doing our best truly, every day.  Its part of living a fulfilling life, and will make you far happier than buying "this" or "that".  Happiness can not be bought.  You are responsible for your own happiness.

The frequent said posts are very telling and truly sad.  You can't be angry at those who have more money than you, since you are not doing everything you can to make your own situation better.  Believe me, the rich pay their share of taxes, to your benefit.  But the idea of being responsible for ourselves?  Totally lost in the land of entitled.  [/quote]
