I guess I'm just old.
I was raised that if I earn money, it's nobodies business HOW I want to use it. If I want to "sit" on a trillion dolllars...whose fucking business is it of anybody else's? If I earn it, then it's mine.
Seems like those days are long gone now. And the whole idea of even bothering to make something for yourself is quickly fading. Why should a young person today even bother trying to become successful? All they have to do is wait for it to be given to them.
And no, I'm not saying that is what everyone does. I'm saying that this kind of thing does affect how people think in general. If I have to kick ass to make ends meet...guess what? I will.
But if it's all good no matter what I do or don't do...chances are that I won't.
Just human behavior.
Of course people like me are always gonna go for the gold. It's just that type of personality. But all those "poor" people who don't have that "A" type personality? Why should they even try anymore? The big payoff at the end (becoming rich) will just mean that they have to give away all their money.
So what's the point?
