Hm. Lemme think. If I worked full time, I'd be making $2000 at the least probably. Which maybe doesn't seem like much but that equals roughly $24,000 a year (actually more since some months there are 3 pay checks), which is roughly the average income for a person in Bartholomew County, where I live at. So, I don't think it's bad, especially when you consider that I don't do much.
It's easy to be rich, if you're smart and/or want to work hard. If a person really wanted to, they could work 3 jobs for a year or work at some shitty factory making a ton of money for a year or live in their car or whatever. These aren't things most people would be comfortable doing, especially since most people seem to get in debt as soon as they're old enough to get a credit card, but the reason I work part time is so I can actually enjoy my life for a few more years. I'm actually busy quite often for someone who works part time... and though it'd be nice to be rich, I'd rather enjoy my life. Money isn't everything.
Most people I know who bitch about money smoke 2 cartons of cigarettes a week or get drunk every other night or run up credit cards or whatever. I'm proud of myself for not doing that. I mean, robotussin is only $7 a bottle!
I hope people don't think it's wrong of me to be proud of my accomplishments... what people on here may not know is that I grew up with nothing. I mean, we were the poorest family ever. Everything that I have that is of an value, I've paid for myself... everyone else had cars when they were 16, I didn't get one until I was 19.. that I paid for myself. $500 but it's ran great for 3 years!
