I'm certainly not trying or wanting to start an argument or anything.
This about the
so called "rich & poor".I say so called because the example is my ex-wife and me.
When I hear about how the rich should be paying more taxes and how hard the poor are having it ,I am reminded of my ex-wife.
Everytime she shows up with her hand out,I get to hear how rich and uncaring I am and how it isn't "fair".
I live a simple and uncomplicated life now.Since I divorced,I got back to zero debt.like I was before getting married to her.While married,my wife could spend it faster than I could bring it in.
AND there would be nothing to show for it.
I am retired at 59.
She will never beable to retire with anything.Her choices will be what brand & flavor of dawg food she will have for dinner.
It isn't because of her income ,AT ALL.She has a good income.She is working on spending next year's income and never a thought about saving !
She has a good income and her home is paid off.Yet she still thinks she is poor and deserving.
The point is... there are a lot of people that would trade places with her !!!
Just because you have more than some other person doesn't make you "rich",nor having less "poor'.
There will always be people with more & less than you.Try to happy with what you have,instead of pi$$ed off.
Happiness is a personal choice.
