Being Rich..

[Typhoid]

..its not all its cracked up to be.


Im not trying to self promote my richness or anything, its just that being rich kind of ruins things.

I used to be semi-poor, and money meant alot to me because i wouldnt really get alot of it to buy things.

But now its made me jaded.

Like, i asked for money to go buy food from subway yesterday, i got $10, whereas i would usually get $20, and i felt like it wasnt enough money.

But if i was still kinda poor i would be so happy to get 10 bucks, but now im just dissapointed.

And i always get bugged from everyone to either lend them money when we are out places, or buy my own food when i am at my friends houses.

That slightly pisses me off.

Its not like i walk around with my money hanging out of my wallet, or like, say " Hey, look at me, im rich!!!!"

There is just some sort of common hate towards people with money from people without it, and it makes me mad.

So mad.

Im too tired to keep typing.I should really come home earlier. Wait. No. I shouldnt. Because if i came home earlier, i wouldnt be out with girls.

I think I should put that paypal donation link back on the homepage.

I would like to hear an accurate account of how you went from being semi-poor to rich.

When you say rich, what exactly do you mean by rich? Like Parents make 100 grand+ a year, or like Millionaire rich?

Onto another topic...

I don't know if you get FX in Canada or not, but it's a fox network. There is this new show called "Rescue Me" which stars none other than our good friend Dennis leary. Wow. He's actually a good actor. Anyway it's like Hilarious one second then dramatic then hilarious then dramatic... You get the picture?! Anyway it comes on Wed. at 10 PM EST.

It's great. It's one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

*sigh*

My dad worked for a BC company who got bought out by an american company. Since he no longer had the job with the first company, he had an option to take out his pension. But he also had a thing in the contract or whatever when he was hired, that when he took out his pension, it would be doubled.

Plus upon the recieving of the money they( parents) put stocks in a Newfoundland ( i think) fishing company, which has since quintupled the invested amount.

My dad doesnt make 100 grand a year ( as far as i know) but hes up there somewhere. My mom doesnt work.

And they wont tell me the exact amount of the money we have, but i know its more than a million. This is including the money we had before.

I hope this has helped to answer your question.

EDIT: I just got the new Hives CD, and im super happy!!!!

I'm glad for you.

You're so rich.

Buy me The Killer's album Hot Fuss.

ok don't really.

I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE...

It's killing me.

OMG what if that's their plan? To kill me by making me never find their album? Maybe it doesn't even exist?

Oh

PS You're too rich, now I hate you.

Sorry got lost there for a second. I have a question there typhoid are your parents being frivilous with their money or are they being tight wads ?

...That's a really good album


Being rich is kind of a double edged sword I guess. You have money, which is what everyone wants, but if you use it other people get jealous. I know, because a friend of mine recently got into lots of money and now I'm so pissed that she can get anything she wants while I have to save up to buy a $20 video game which I still don't have

I have known about The Killers for a long time. Now they're suddenly popular, which is good for them I guess, but bad for me as I can't find it anywhere!

Me either, ive been looking for it for a while. I do however have "Somebody told me" On my computer.

Ive been looking for that CD for months and cant find it.



( The Bassist or Lead guitarist in the "Somebody told me" video looks kinda like a chick...)

I live in a wealthy community but my family isn't what I'd consider rich. I'd say we're right in the middle. Life is good though. I'd like to be wealthy when I'm a grown-up though. My grandpa is rich, and his monthly retirement checks are big too. And he receives more than he spends so it's just getting bigger and bigger. If he bought a top of the line G5 or even a new car, it wouldn't hurt him at all. And that's what I want to be able to do. To get either of those things now on my own would take months probably, maybe a year minimum. I'm not working much though, I'm going to see how college works in the fall, and if it's okay, I'm going to get a job on weekends. A G5 is on my 'To Buy' list right now.

Well Typhoid, it is only natural for one without a lot of money to be jealous of a person who had lots of it. It's human nature. And if you were "poor" you'd be jealous of someone with a couple million as well.

Many people who have everything really have nothing.
I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable.

Couldn't agree with you more.

[BreakABone]

Well, this is just a question.

You are rich and the best thing you can do with your time is post on a forum?
