    I’ve known quite a few extremely wealthy people and as a whole they were not happy. I would bet Spez isn’t living a great life now and it will hit him some day. Tbh, I don’t care all that much, I like it here.

      They may not be happy, but neither are many of the rest of us. The difference is that they have the resources to be comfortable and healthy during their misery. 2/3 of us live paycheck-to-paycheck and can barely, or just flat out can’t, afford basic things like healthcare or maintenance on the vehicles we’re usually required to own to survive.

      Being poor is not better than being rich, and only sheltered middle class morons seem to think it is.

        Totally agree.

        Life can suck, but it can really suck when you have financial problems.

        Personally I think human beings would be a lot happier if money did not exist. I don’t appreciate money past the extent it provides for my needs. As long as I can pay my bills I’m good. I simply don’t understand the obsession people have with money, but then it’s also a means to power. So basically it comes down to an obsession with power and control. What human trait defines an asshole better than that.
