You're full of ****. WTF is this bull**** definition of "I get to save an entire month's pay for someone on minimum wage" bull****? So you're saying that because my family makes more than the MINIMUM WAGE in the country I live in, I should consider myself rich? Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?
Let's just define "minimum". That means the absolute basic skills to do the most basic job. Let's take a same situation couple for example. Two basic minimum wage people compared to two people who have bachelor degrees and 15 years experience? Should we be making 1.5x min wage, or 2x min wage, or 5000x min wage? You hold it against me because I make more than someone who can push a button at a predetermined interval? Really?
Your point is beyond ******ed. I know what its like to have my heat shut off. I know what its like to get public assistance. I know what its like to make 25k, 50k, 100k, 200k. Don't sit here and tell me wtf I should be grateful about, because I know wtf I should be grateful about. I broke my butt putting myself through school and racking up 65,000 in student loans and paying back 500 bucks a month for 30 years. You hold it against me because I pay 2k in monthly bills, 1k for child care, 2k for savings/college funds for my child and help me and my wife's family to make ends meet and go to Bertucci's and buy a polo shirt once in a while?
You act like I have a Benz and butler and that couldn't be further from the truth. Because we can save 900 bucks a month vs two mouth breathers doesn't mean we are in the Big Pimpin' video.
