You will never be rich. Or even well off, as you are completely stupid
when
it comes to economics.

i'll never be rich

because i work for a living....something you've avoided your entire
life



I worked for a living. Put myself through university, worked 70 hour weeks.
50 as an engineer and another 20 running a side business with a buddy.
Spent less than I took in, watched my investments, stayed out of most of the
tech stocks during the bubble, as I worked in the industry and saw no basis
for a company with a website being capitolized at a billion bucks. Took
classes at college to keep up my skills, and improve my knowledge. Still
take classes at the local JC. Mostly fun classes now. But still keeps the
mind active. I am not wealthy, but well to do. My mom, who is 95, is well
off. Never made more than $40k a year. A nurse when nurses did not make
big bucks. Saved money, did not spend on not needed items. Never had a
credit card, but was well qualified. Saved. Maybe those who grew up in the
last depression, learned you did not have to spend all you money. My
youngest daughter bought a condo in a very good area when she was 25.
Drives Fords, and now a Hundai, and husband drives a Toyota pickup. She
owns most of her condo. There are people renting in the same condo. About
$4k rent a month. Drive a 740 bmw, and another status car. Probably
leased. They will be like you. No money when they get older. Spent it all
on status. You the type who had to buy the $500 torn jeans?
