Frankly I've decided that the "masses" are uneducated simps who'll always be wallowing in the depths of debt. It used to bother me... I wondered.. "why can't we just educate them and help them out of debt?" It still bothers me, but not much. Ensuring my own financial independence is my primary concern, not theirs. If we educated everyone on making money, who would work minimum wage to make my food, etc? We NEED stupid people to make the menial grind work. Enlightened people with investments and realistic plans for the future refuse to be degraded in a minimum wage job. Even as a fiscal liberal, I realize that the majority of people ARE stupider than me, and I know that this alone ensures a relative level of comfort.
And a question to you, Ustwo: if you could ensure a relative financial stability by just going to work everyday and putting in that 8 hours, why should you want to make more? Some people are content being middle class, or even poor.
