Retirement

But on the flip side of that, a lot of people who own their own business don't bring in enough money to put a good chunk of change away.

true, but my dad's business is a construction business, and he has jobs all over Connecticut. i try not to brag about it, because i dont want to sound like im lying just to get attention...

 

[BabyPiglet]

Well. Ok I am walking away cuz if I don't I will get hurt.

You seem to be taking things to personally. I'm not trying to be mean to you.

Oh no, it doesn't sound like that at all. I just wanted to state that not all cases are like that. You shouldn't feel like your braging because of your dad's success!

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

We're not trying to "hurt" you, we're just letting you know that what you were thinking an expression meant wasn't right on the nose. We're trying to help.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yeah. A lot of businesses just don't get off the ground, but she should feel bad because her dad is having good success.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

Yeah. A lot of businesses just don't get off the ground, but she should feel bad because her dad is having good success.

Why should she feel badly about that?

 

[BabyPiglet]

Why should she feel badly about that?

OOPS.

Excuse me, I meant she SHOULDN'T feel bad.

oh i know, but lots of low-lifes come on this site and brag that they supposedly have "loads of money." once i saw how many people claimed they were rich, i figured nobody would believe me, so i just let it go. plus i dont want my dad's money to get the best of me. i would start to brag about my car that i just got for my birthday, all the nice top-of-the-line expensive clothes, and so on. i didnt want everyone to hate me because i was such a show off.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

OOPS.

Excuse me, I meant she SHOULDN'T feel bad.

Oh good. I was starting to think that you had lost you noodle!

[Ping-PongMaster]

Oh good. I was starting to think that you had gone insane.

lol why thank you! glad to know im accepted for who i am and not the money i have

Sorry but, "low-lifes"? I hope you aren't talking about normal middle class people, or people who just don't have a lot of money.

I think he was refering to those who come on here and brag about their immense wealth.

 

[Ping-PongMaster]

no, i meant "low-lifes" as in people who sign up to Dis boards just to lie to everyone and pretend they are rich just to get attention.

you see what i mean? i say i am rich and all of a sudden people start treating me like i am some stuck-up snobby rich guy...


i just want to make it clear that i would NEVER look down on someone because they had little or no money. money doesnt express who you are, just what you can afford, and that means NOTHING.

 

[schmitty]

This thread is full of people not understanding what others are saying.

 

[Ping-PongMaster]

i hope you understand that, BabyPiglet. im not like you think i am. im a nice person who just happens to have a lot of money. my dad's money means nothing to me except for the fact that i can afford things that i like. other than that, its just green paper.

WHOOOAAA. I never said that you were some rich spoiled brat. I guess I was just mis-understanding your words.

Hey, I've got money too, I'd be a real hypocrite for calling you out. My family makes pretty good moola.

Seriously, I think, we're all just mis-understanding each other, A LOT.

Well, you win, because I'm yacht-less.

oh ive always wanted a sailboat!

and i was kidding, i dont have a yacht. they're pointless for me because i dont live close enough to a beach.

i like snowmobiling personally. its pretty sweet. my grandparents have a bunch of trails behind their house and they go for miles. its so much fun.

are sailboats really as fun as they look though?

No idea, I was 4. xD

Now, I live right in the middle of the US, so no beaches and ocean for me. =[
