Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

Best part is people bitching they can't get ahead because of the system. Won't listen to people who beat the same system at all. Won't seek out or listen to them at all. People who started with nothing and wound up with something in the same time period. It's NOT FAIR. Seriously? Make a point of finding someone who actually made something of themself and model yourself after them. That's a huge problem in our country apparently. I tried to always at least ask how people got to where they were. Not sit around and tell them how unfair or stupid they are for having made it.

Yes, you are unique and the only person in the world like you basic econmic principles, basic human interaction, and investing your time/effort into skills to better yourself doesn't apply to you either.

If you come off 1/10th what you do on on the internet as you do in real life..I'm guessing it takes < 30 seconds for people to say fuck this and move on and mark you down as a write off and not wasting any effort/time on you at all. I'm gonna guess you come off as smarter than everyone else who doesn't have any real life experience beyond what you read on the internet and the sytem is rigged against you. Nobody wants to hear that shit and will move on quickly.

Thanks for the advice all.

Astral: it was last year. She was a rescue. Someone grabbed her by her front legs and threw her, breaking both of her legs and then abandoning her when she was a puppy. Both of her front legs made her walk around gimpy, so we thought it was that worsening with age, but she had cancer by her lower spine that degraded a vertebra. She jumped down off the bed one day and paralyzed herself. Being my favorite dog ever we rushed to the ER. I wasn't thinking clearly but I think it was a total of almost 5k with an overnight stay. Didn't even cross my mind that she's clearly paralyzed, and charging 3k for a specialist to come in on call isn't going to change that fact. I called off work and spent the next 5 days at home taking care of her until we put her to sleep.

Then we got 2 dogs to replace her which cost 850 and 1000, so that got thrown onto the cards (all of our dogs are Basenjis, just like the breed a ton. No dog odor, short hair, clean themselves a lot, and don't bark).

But yeah I learned a lot in the last 3 years about money between buying a house, kids, etc. Once the cards are paid down my wife is gonna need an act of Congress to make me want to put anything significant on them again. (Including dogs no matter how cute we think they are)

Mist could have Gold bricks on the road to the promised land and she would bitch that they were hard on her feet. She would also bitch about trying to pull them up because they would break her lesbian nails. The only reason her twat is wet is because of all the fucking tears that roll down every second of every day. Nothing can stop her from her cunty revolution of bitchiness. So in short fuck Mist and the god damned endless bitching about woe is her.

You paid almost 2k for a couple of dogs? Bro.

I would do it again too, just never on a credit card again. A good dog for 10+ years is worth that, I think.

Because they use that wealth to manipulate politicians and rig the system even more in their own favor once they're already winning.

The insidious thing about our system is that it's not enough for rich people to be rich and comfortable, they have to rig the system so everyone else has nothing so they can feel even richer.

Can you provide any evidence of this?

I'd also like to make a note that it's not in the interest of wealthy people to make everybody else poorer. Quite the opposite, in fact.

If we believe Mist's own words, she is doing everything in her own power to remain stuck in a dead end job and dead end life. She is the exact opposite of someone willing to work on improving their life.

She is always trying to blame this on other people with her political views, but then her comments about her personal life and job show its all her own fault.

People like Mist are like League of Legends players that bitch about ELO hell. There really isn't any point to discussing it with them, they need their false belief because otherwise they're responsible for their own consequences and that's just not palatable.

But it's so much easier to bitch on the internet than it is to change anything about your life.

Quality writing, how does the story end?

Yeah, fuck all those people who won't listen to the anecdotal evidence provided by 5 or 6 posters on an obscure message board! That shit totally invalidates the mounds of evidence that thevastmajority of this country has very little social mobility.
