Your decisions.
Both in where you live and whom you vote for.
The WORST/WORTHLESS generation.
Off topic-My grandson got a job lead through Craig’s list. He showed up the first day and the guy said, “You’re obviously a republican and my wife will not be happy with that.”
The crazy thing is he wasn’t wearing a MAGA hat and has no bumper stickers, I guess because he is polite, clean-cut, wears a cowboy hat and boots, he looks like a Republican?
He agreed that he was a Republican but keeps his opinions to himself and he hired him. Of course, the guy ended up loving his work ethic and competence after having gone through several incompetent workers in the past weeks.
To start Jenny Castillo can sell 2 of the 3 homes along with getting rid of the groomer for her orange Siberian cat if she wants some cash. She says she takes no vacations yet says she has been on 3 this year. FTA: resorts in Peru, Israel and Jamaica.
I wish I made $100,000 a year.
I do now with stock for the last few years but not salary. I spend my salary and still have money saved.
The Ant and the grasshopper fable comes to mind.

Invest in stock and save for the future. I work with guys who go out for lunch each day and talk about where they went to dinner then complain as the week goes by that they are getting short money. One guy does bring in homemade meals his wife makes (how he trained her I do not know! : )
I myself make my own lunch. Cost is under $2 vs $7 and above going to fast food places. I cook at home. I do not own anything expensive just because.
