Who takes life for granted? I'll tell you who.

That i disagree with. If i go on to start a successful business, you can bet your ass it'll stay run by the family, unless of course all my kids turn out to be idiots. In which case i'll turn to nephews / nieces.

I agree again with jay. There is nothing worse than kids that will let the familly business go to waste. It shows that you have no respect for the work your dad put into the company to bring it where it is.

the rich kids I hate the most are the highschool kids that get 3 brand new cars throughout highschool just because they are "bored" with the one they have... freaking 3 20k+ cars in highschool... what are parents thinking? sure I'd love my parents to buy me a car instead of me spending all of my money on them, but you'd think after getting one brand new car they'd be grateful... instead 6 months later they want another one.

I agree, some of the kids that are rich and are brats and continue to want more are the ones that I can't get over. I know a few folks that are rich and only one of them have kids like that. It fustrates me to no end that they do not know the vlaue of earning your keep. I guess it all depends on how you are brought up I guess. I'm at the border line of upper class/middle class and yet I don't feel I need to get the latest and best thing just in name alone. I guess thats why I did not get a Lexus and got a Hyundai instead. But thats just me.

sometimes what I don't understand are people like Bill Gates. he has all the money in the world. He has so much he doesn't know what the hell to do with it all. he could literallly walk down the street one day and give everyone he sees a million dollars. hell, if i was worth roundabouts of 40 billion, I'd do that at least a few times. now, I'm not saying hes not a charitable man. hes donated half a billion dollars to AIDS research and prevention in Africa, which is a just and grand cause by itself, but still. more to the common man, eh?

You have to understand that most of those super rich business men have very few liquid assets. Yeah Bill Gates is rated at 70 billion or something but at a moment notice it would be hard even for him to pull out even a few million dollars.

Yeah. True that.

[Soyo]

yea, I don't care how rich I am, I wanna be able to get my hands on it when I want to

[-Davo]

I wish I were in that situation where I could just not worry about money, and say "I want it, I'll get it, today, now"

But at the moment, it's "in 15 years I might be able to afford that TV"

You want to know who takes life for granted???

Everyone.

You see, your yourself are taking life for granted (as am I) by sitting here and complaining about how other people suck. Yeah, fuck rich kids. I agree. But at the same time you yourself are taking life for granted. Not enough to hate other people when you could be finding things to love about them or another. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm just a poor ass, I don't care though most of em won't ever change. That's why they die lonely, sooooo sad. Well not really.

[zebrathree]

Wouldn't Bill Gates have the possiblity of being the quickest poorest man if all the MS shares dropped by 90% though?

WTF????

Why would some random guy walking down the street deserve a million dollars? Bill Gates deserves all the money he's made for himself, and the substantial amount which he donates is far more deserved and needed by worthy charities than some guy walking down the street.

[Jimster]

Reminds me of my friends in High School... "If you're a billionaire can I have a million dollars?" and then there was "Can I work for you if you have a big company"


Needless to say I got new friends before I left high school.

I take life for granded to a certain extent. Everyone does, and I agree on that.

But I'm not in a position to enjoy life anyway.
The best I can do is hang out with friends, and get drunk.
