(4,835 posts)and that's exactly what I was pointing out to you. I've sacrificed, got an education, learned how to fix things, gotten by with less and I'm doing all right.
Those folks that I've come across who aren't doing ok, they've been living as though they're 'owed' nice things and they're gonna have those things and the money is just gonna come from somewhere.
When the money doesn't come, it's someone else's fault. Yeah, I'm doing ok and I'm gonna continue doing ok because I've learned to get by within my means. That doesn't make me a right-winger that makes me a responsible adult.
I've been through my share of disasters and I know they're no fun, and I've helped more than my fair share of people down on their luck, but some people are just a bottomless pit of 'take', no matter how much you help them, they feel that they deserve more.
If you're not getting 'yours' maybe you should try sacrificing a little. It's worked for me.
