(10,129 posts)43 years old, will most likely die early because I can't afford the dental care I need (though I'm insured, there's a $1,000 per year cap on benefits, and that would cover about half of one tooth.. and all of my uppers need either root canals or extractions), constantly trying to balance out which bill will get short-paid or put off so I can make sure there's groceries in the house for the wife and kids, and gas in the car so we can get to work, busting ass continually and never getting ahead, while watching scum-fucks like RMoney lounge in the lap of luxury, all by being callous, calculating, thieving, evil pricks who make their fortunes on the backs of people like me. And sitting here thinking that the only way I'm ever going to maybe have any kind of comfort or peace is if, when my 98 year old grandmother passes, there will be some money trickling it's way down to me. Even entertaining that thought for a fleeting second makes me feel like a complete shit-heel, but there it is.
