THIS is the poisoned thinking that is going to lead to BIG, BIG problems in the future!!
Do people know that you have a better chance of FINDING a bag of money, than winning the lottery!! I call the lottery "A Tax on Being Stupid"!
***sound of hair being pulled out***
"Someone to take care of me..." I think this is the single phrase that makes me NUTS! When the HELL did this mode of thought become the norm! I once heard a college speaker advising students to live with Mom and Dad for as long as they would let you. A 35 year old man living in the basement of his Mom's house IS NOT FUNNY!
Even if you are living in a "one room closet", you are living by your own wits and you will be MUCH MUCH better prepared for the various waves of excrement that life throws at you.
AND another thing!....
***bile and blood pressure rising***
Insurance is very high because no one wants to be responsible for anything.
"My insurance will TAKE CARE of that..."
How many people have a ZERO deductable on their car/home insurance?
The first thing asked in business, medical, contracting, entertainment, fundraisers, school dances etc...IS "we need a copy of your insurance certificate"
I don't care for the pop term of "Entitlement Generation" but it does seem to hold a little water.
GIMMIE, GIMMIE, GIMMIE!! I'm here so I deserve it! WHAAhhh
