Because, they cant stop themselves.
You do your job and go home. You dont got to worry about the company future, paying your insurance, scam artist , thieves, managing people, making sure your employees are safe, paid, etc..

Then, You know, From my point of view, I get to watch “ rich people” smooth sailing, protected in their big house, food, shelter, lights, comforts , and guidance provided by parents…. who have the time and day and energy to care for them.. lol

And, my poor friends would say “ rich people are lucky they have money or get envious and mad and jealous or think its unfair that others can have the same-problem” but it doesn’t affect the rich as much because they have-money.
anyway, alot of opportunity to become rich…but who really cares about money

Anyway, after I got a job, I did not want to be “Poor” any more. hahahahaha lol . So, when I got my paycheck I was careful to save, invest, etc… I learned the mistakes of people by how they “GROAN AND MOAN “ about having kids too early, not making enough for bills, gas being expensive, girlfriend problems, drug problems, etc… I mean, people literally tell you how they “RUINED” their lives.
But, no one wanted to be friends with me…especially because I had 0$…
who likes hearing that? I heard that so many times.
I was working at some “burger” fast food place.. Then, slowly, and gradually , reality check came.

I grew up poor and penny-less. When I was 16 working my minimum wage job. My bank account balance was less than 4$….
I was busting my life. My life sucked, but I knew, the only way out was to work-hard, earn money.
#1 live within your means
And most other people are simply ,living the dream for now.
There is sharks trying to make loan offers, brides, gifts-with-strings-attached…. etc…
My other teenager friends? Well, they also got a bag-boy job at a grocery store…they made minimum wage too..about 600$ -although my friend tried to 1 up me, and flex or brag that with O.T or he made 650$ or whatever…Anyway, we both got PAID about the same.
In my 40 years, Everyone I met, has some excuse, reason, unreasonable attitude, resist reality, lazy, druggy, spoiled, etc. Insert the 1000 ways a fool becomes broke.
When life , Rocks me…like job loss or whatever… FUn goes out, then my investing, then my saving, then, am left with working hard….
But, my body hurts. my arm hurts, my knees hurt, my back hurts.
but not me…
but not me.
I rather tell you how most of the rich and wealthy people i know keep and make money.
I had hope. But I realistically realized, i have hope…but its gonna suck, and hard, and its pretty much nearly impossible to Thrive in this world.
And, No I did not get to go to Movie theaters because it was too expensive. etc..
hahahaha, i guess, those movies like clint eassstwood…had the “the good, the bad and the ugly”
If you can work hard, be disciplined, make sacrifices, swallow some hard truth, endure, take the pain, the punishment, the sadness, smile thru the darkness, fall 7 times and get up 9 times…. have the courage to accept the things you can change, and have the understanding to “LET GO” of the things you cannot change….” you should be alright…
Life happens to all of us. I been hit with problems , bumps, challenges, etc…. but my buffer zone when the boat rocks saves me.
but not me… I was inbetween the bridge… too poor to party with the rich… and barely had enough to stay afloat from being destitute or hopeless.
And no body really likes hearing about the “REALITY CHECK” like the BILL that comes after a fancy restaurant.
I failed school. But, that doesn’t mean its all bad. It means, I have zero to little responsibility. lol
Then, I was mostly “A DAY LATE AND DOLLAR SHORT” for just about everything..
Beggers cant be chooser..
I guess, in a way, he was like the royalty and I was like a “peasant” on the bleachers or side line, hoping for “bread” in the circus of life.
Such as splurging or spending all your money at one place. Or being lazy, or partying too much…etc..
And, they both could not understand each other, and were “distant worlds apart”
I started to help my parents out with bills and food… Not that am a “saint” or whatever, nor am i trying to shine a spot light on me. No. I just felt really sad when they didnt have money or had to make sacrifice or was stressed at work, etc… Since, I knew or watched them struggle. Plus, since i was a poor kid, i knew “EVERYTHING cost money” many times, I had to NOT-GET-WHAT-I- WANT.
It challenged me to find grit, save, invest, and didnt matter to me how others had a early start, head-start, or whatever..or how others did it…like them “becoming drug dealers, criminals, liars, thieves”
old woman, with couple kids, used up , washed up woman, etc… i guess, i should be grateful..
(most people make more, start spending more, getting into more debt) but hey, i started to “SAVE MORE INVEST MORE” boring, i know.
Bored in my room doing nothing VS. watching my alcohol fueled , drug frenzied friend, fighting his parents won. And sometimes, he would feed me food because i was too poor that the only thing to eat was white-rice or whatever. lol
My friend had a video game system, fresh clothes, nice food, nice apartment, etc… but you know, i was his poor friend.
I was the poor guy with 0$ in my pocket and 0$ in my bank account. I watched friends get hook up from other friends, free cars from family, the gravy train, etc… being spoiled by their parents…
Life aint no perfect place. I got a ton of things to whine and complain about. Things to mold me .
i hope a young hot woman would see me as a sexy short king and date me but , you know, thats probably just gonna be my “fantasy” that i never get to live.
but they say “ god gives his strongest soldiers the biggest challenge”
I was grinding my minimum wage job…busting my back, scrubbing dishes, cooking, taking out the trash.
This affords you the opportunity to go do whatever you like and not even really care if the building is burning down. You can be like that dog meme with the house on fire, saying “ its fine”
My friends would love to work, get a job, then PARTY or whatever… then, when they lose their job…or pay.. They are struggling hard to find a job or work or whatever..and they still continue to drink and party a bit, even without a job…and stay broke and mad and blame the system.
Anyway, I would get paid, working almost full time. And get like 600$ at the time. at 16 year old …that was alot of money to me. I bought food, essentials and saved like 300$. =D
After you save up , rainy-day money, fun money, you also increase - investing money.
Anyway, i got a job, and life goes on.
My friends slowly were figuring it out how lucky they had it. Some striaghtened out….some stopped bragging to me.. I was slowly grinding… and life threw some curve balls, and kept trying to shake me off.
Not all homeless, but just look at the “PRIORITY” of most folks..
If you are poor and hoping for a better life. Look no further than the “man in the mirror”
So, the lesson was: Dont ever make a life plan that goes vertical….its been up and down’s sideways, etc.
Being broke means, I got dumped by all my friends…and woman gave me zero chance. HAHAHAHAAHh
And forbidden fruits laid before my feet by trappers…like trying to offer me illegal stuff, and trap me into situations…I cant get into that one too much…
Work hard, save, invest then have fun.
But, I saved my money, and my friend, went to the mall, bought some clothes, fun things… then, he bought some drugs, alcohol, and he invite a group of friends to hang out at the park or whatever “spot” and he would smoke, drink, do drugs, and spend all his money. (He was broke all the time. )
As you get a higher pay raise or side hustle or whatever.
girls who like me, would be told by the group to dis-own me or Not like me….because i was broke. lol
but, instead, you know, now am getting richer or whatever… but nothing will take away the pain, the missed opportunity, the lack of love, attention, romance, dating, happiness..
After 7th grade, i did not get a allowance…like my friends…so they dumped me. lol
and, well, my parents had zero money for me. lol So, I got a job.
The benefits of being low-class or low income is . Your job is pretty easy. Beside the labor.
I guess, they say “ EASY COME , EASY GO” so you know, my friends pissed it away…ruined their golden opportunity, did drugs, partied, did alcohol, etc… ironic…
He was the rich kid with parent -family problems and he would do drugs, drink, smoke and was a really fun guy to hang around with in high school. He hated responsibility, hated his parents, and loved to do bad things. I was the poor friend that just had nothing better to do than watch him or be entertained by his life-style. I was too poor. My pocket empty. I could sit in my room with zero money and read books for free at the library…or go for walks, watch my friend drink, smoke, have strange conversation, watch him do drugs, and it was interesting observing and studying him.
yet, am not depressed or sad…
My life is pretty much on EASY STREET now… which makes me suspicious.
but am kinda old, they old, and the thrill is gone, the light is gone from their eyes, from having failed relationships, many sex partners etcs….
Also, renting , as much as people hate that others have a “house” or own it…Owning a home is another level of responsibility, such as insurance, broken sink, water damage, property tax, etc…
And, No, If I had better option of friends, rather than my druggy, drunk, and crazy, psychopathic friends…well, i probably would of chosen better.
That pretty much makes you rich. Worked for me.
I mean, you can go look for another job, and walk away.
Jesus christ or i think the holy bible would give you quotes and there is many famous people with wise words…and am not here to gong that bell that no one seems to hear.
But, as you see in my order, fun is the last thing i do…and trust me…when I am having fun. .I am wasting money at the bar, buying 7$ beer that i can get for 1$ at the store… you get the point.. FUN goes out first…
He would get mad that he didnt get PAID enough and also life sucked…
Because, rather than tell you 10,000 ways people become broke, i rather tell you the simple things that make you rich.
I had a nightmare version of happiness and love and sex… such as no-dating, disgust from woman, being too old now, too short, too fat, too ugly, and now, the dating pool is like a dumpster on fire….
although, some renters only look at the problem and see that they are finding it hard to afford rent, or whatever.
but it sure keeps me from having a miserable time.
So, I just kept trying, and life kept kicking me down…
What, I noticed in most people is : FUN GOES OUT “LAST” kinda like, the homeless still buying beer, drugs and partying and smoking
But, in the end, am nothing but me. Just a dude… living one day at a time…
As a renter, you can just skip town if you like or move to another location any time.
I normally spend about 90% to 95% of my money but save a bit when i was low-income…for rainy days, unforeseen expenses, unexpected friends needing money, wanting to buy something i never seen, etc.
You dont start spending… Now, you got to build up a saving nest, invest a bit, try to make more money.
I rather prefer a easy life, a good wife, a good life, wayyy less pain in my body, etc..
As I become richer, or got bigger pay or bigger job, my 90% spend on expenses went down gradually over the years, to like 30% Then, my saving gone-up, and also my fun money.
lol hahahaha , maybe this is some twisted karma or revenge on my life.
and am like, fukk, man, god, can you give me a easy challenge?
so i isolated alot, studied books at the library, felt like i was already in jail without committing a crime.
Step 2 - Just cause you got a raise, dont mean you do a “life style creep” up… What i mean is:
God, I hate that reality-check….
So, my choice of friends was “ traumatized, drunk, druggy, alcoholic, crazy, abusive friends” or homeless and beggers or isolation and myself.
They said “ everytime we wanna go eat or do something, you have no money!” and fair enough, i was broke, so my friends dumped me. lol
YOu probably heard it before like “ BEGGERS CANT BE CHOOSERS” lol
#2 save a little bit - dont wanna be a miser and miserable nor a splurge that suffers later
This is just a based-on-a-true-story of my life. LOL hahahahah
but , most people life is like “ good times, bad times, ugly times”
dating, sex, romance, job, career,
I was poor. I had the police trying to shake me down sometimes, my boss breathing down the neck, the other races hating , disliking me, the jealous people trying to ruin my little happiness, the fake friends who wanted company for their misery, trying to get me fired or sabotage my life, the druggies trying to lure me into their dark, dank, hopeless world… the bullies trying to muscle their way into destroying my life. And, I had some people trying to recruit me for their jobs, profession, career path, etc…
and taking it for granted.
But, you get the point.
Then, after you save about 6 months worth of your monthly needs, you invest a bit more, and give your self more than a “WIGGLE ROOM” but room to breathe, and if anything like “car breaking down” or getting a parking ticket or whatever doesn’t cause a crisis or make you juggle your bills and rent and food…
FUkk, reality sucks. But, i think, life or god or some miracle or the government rat theory or testing on me ceased and they let me “live a fantasy life now”
Overall, I think people have a hard-time because they are not “ALIGNED” with reality. lol
lol hahahahahahaha
It was almost as if there are TWO types of people in this world…THE HAVES and HAVE-NOT.
at first, at minimum wage, my bills , rent, car insurance, food, etc… was paid, the essentials…pretty much 90 to 95% of my money was gone, month to month.
Dealt with racism, politics, sabotage, fake friends, haters, favoritism, unfairness, crooked people, cheaters, liars, etc…
And, so you know, that helped me …. from making the same-mistakes?
Of course, they graduate some fancy schools and get a fancy job with big pay and big responsibility…
