Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
You know, every time one of these threads come up I say to myself "Don't get involved, you'll just say things you will regret and make an idiot of yourself" But I do enjoy them and can't resist. Here is some more: While I was working out this morning I asked myself "Self, why do you like being wealthy so much? I doubt it makes me happier in the long run, so what is it?
I decided it was because it let's me ignore many eveyday issues. I don't need to apply to get things like gov't assistance or subsidies. I can just pay for it myself. If the wait for health care is too long, I can just go to Buffalo or Seattle and pay for it. If I get sick in Arizona, I don't have to worry if the insurance will cover it. If my car breaks down I just call the dealership. I could think of many more examples but they are summarized as " I can ignore most everyday annoyances" This gives me a sense of control over my life.
Maybe I am an idiot. If you think so please don't tell me.
