Next time you think the US wage and employment system is unfair and doesnt pay a living wage just remember this... you can spend a year in your moms bawsement learning programming and reading books and then go get an entry level job for 40k - 50k, and by the end of 4 years (presuming you continue to refine your skills) will easily be able to rake in 100K a year.... all with no diploma or formal education, just your own hard work.

You can't even get that in most of europe... america is a pretty damn good place to move up if you bother to invest in your own skills.

@freemo i think people who think like this think poor and spend money on things they don't need.

@1iceloops123 yes that or even just have more kids than they can afford, like its some right and its everyone elses fault they cant afford them. Its taboo to remind them that they are bad parents for having more kids than they had the means to raise.

I cant tell you how many middle class families are married with 2 - 3 kids, only one working adult, and 2 cars in a 4 room suburban home like a mansion who complain they cant afford health insurance or their bills.

@freemo like this year there has been times i was like oh crap i am stupid but i work in retail so hours come and go and i think i'll just save it and spend it on things i need to live and when can get things i can get maybe wait little before i do
