Koopa Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 money does not buy happiness/can't buy me love/mo money mo problems. I guess when you have nothing you learn to appreciate what you have. However in the words of the great Daniel Tosh "Money does not buy happiness, but it does buy a waverunner. Ever try to frown on a waverunner?" 3
pie2 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 You're thankful for what you have, and grateful because you know it could always be worse. Not that I condone the extreme poverty in the world; it's really sad how much some have compared to how little others have (talking about extreme cases). 1
thefooloftheyear Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 As someone who lived in a very dysfunctional and poverty stricken household, I can tell you that it was VERY hard... But I never lost hope....and I am fiercely competitive.. I watched people around me who weren't as sharp as I am do well and enjoy a more enriched life...I knew that if I just got a small break, that good things would eventually come... In one decade I went from penniless to 7 figures...And it was never about being rich or having a lot of money...All i wanted was a full refrigerator and heat in the house...But everything fell into place.. I know it sounds cliche, but never give up...And always know that as bad as it is for you, there are people that have it a ton worse....I truly believe everyone has this inner fire, but for whatever reason they choose not to harness it... Dont give up...Never.... I wish you well... TFY 3
FitChick Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I stopped my subscriptions to fashion and home decorating magazines. They had me yearning to buy things I couldn't afford, which made me unhappy. Sometimes desperation drives creativity. You might become a successful entrepreneur doing something you love. 2
