i bought my first house the day i turned 18 and paid it off in 6 years.after i left school i worked 7 days a week without fail for 6 years, no holidays, no friends nothing. just work. i helped support my family until my mum got her shit together. at my worst i was working 4 different jobs and selling weed when i could get my hands on. in the past 10 years i probably have donated 200k to various charities, so dont fucking preach to me. 

i was in your position, he difference is i chose to get up out of the gutter and do something about it. im successful because i worked hard, so dont tell me to fuck my money because you aint got shit.

what do you want for that, a junior g-man badge? 

calm down, captain capitalism.  it aint as simple as that for us, just cuz it was for you. 

id be more impressed if you found your money in a taxi cab.

I measure myself by accomplishments.

i measure myself by scalps taken.  most of the other achievements dont seem to mean much.   

i never claimed it was simple. just dont piss away money on drugs/drink/smokes and work hard, thats the moral. yeah i got lucky with some of my properties but that was through smart money management i got from reading books at the library about money management. money doesnt measure your success but it allows you to live a more relaxed life.

i worked for my life, and now i can enjoy the rest of it. i dont have a fancy car, i live in a simple 4 bedroom house its not worth a huge amount of money, i retired about a 2 years ago and went back to work about 9 months ago cause i got bored of living the 'retired' life. 

life is hard, but if you sit around talking about how hard your life is youll never make it easy.

i think a person should be measured by their ability to adapt to a situation.

yeah life might fuck you over, but you have to roll with it, because if you dont noone is gunna help you out.

i've been in countless shitty situations, like my car catching fire in the middle of the nullabor (500$ hootpies ftw!) no phone, no money and only the clothes on my back, about 100km from anywhere.

you just gotta take what you can and roll with it.

First off dude, there have been child labor laws banning people under the age of 15 from working since 1892. The only way you would have had a job like that is if it were a family owned business in which case you probably wouldn't have been paid if you were struggling that bad. - no it was a friends parents business, it was a cash job and they needed the help. yeah we have child labor laws in australia too, but i wasnt on the books and they were paying me 4 bucks an hour for my work. 

If you were that fucking broke how do you pay for a house when you turn 18. - Any penny i had spare from helping with my fam, i saved. i never spent a single cent i didnt have too. my first house cost me 55 grand and i walked into the bank with my boss as my backing and 7500 in cash and they gave me a loan.

specially if you were in school, since I assume you went to college. Even then, you'd have to have had made a lot of fucking money to pay for both a house and college. I'm pretty sure that to get a good job that pays that much money you need college experience. Knowing what I know about child labor laws and how much school costs and how many people do work their asses off just for a simple college education I call bullshit on that. - i barely graduated high school. i never went to college/uni/tafe, everything i know is self taught, i read books in my spare time at the public library. i worked my ass off doing everything from running books for small business to flipping burgers on the midnight shift at maccas. i was given a good job now, because i can show i know how to work numbers, and i understood the industry i am working in now. i can be an energetic charismatic person when i want, which helps cover up the fact i dont have any formal training.

My point was that implying that broke people are "bottom feeders" or that your money makes you a better man is what pissed me off. I still say fuck your money. You don't know what it's like to be in my shoes, and you saying that it's my choice to stay in the gutter is a fucking laugh. If it really was a matter of people just needing to get off their asses and work for it then every mother fucker that I know who works their ass off, me included, would be in a much better place than I am. - want some advice, save a 50 bucks, and take it buy some clean clothes froma thrift store and a lawnmower out of the wanted adds in the paper, mow a motherfuckers lawn for 10 bucks. no offense but if you got 1 pair of pants and 3 t shirts, its a wonder no one is hiring you. you gotta dress smart, look the part. if you came through to ask a job from me wearing some old stanky t shirt and scummy pants and scuffed up shoes i would probably laugh you out of the building. not because i think im better then you, but because if you cant show the common decency to show up to my work place in suitable attire then how do i know your serious about working for me?

you can say fuck my money all you want. i been in a situation like yours, but i got out there and busted my ass to fix it. 

i aint any better then you, i bleed red and shit brown. i just chose different things. hell goto swap meets  (dnno what you call em in usa)  buy cheap barbie dolls and sell em on ebay or something. theres alot of money to be had in that.

if something isnt working for you change and adapt.

this thread got off topic quicker then a fool with premature ejaculation problems....Big Scoob is dope as fuck and still signed. I assume it takes him a long time to write shit and probably needs Tech help.
