Default Re: Prs to be making me less broke? Financial Follies

Anacardo- As the guy who first introduced the only idea you like so far, I think that qualifies me as a kindred spirit. Also I'm a mid-20s life wasting "smart" guy who is busto despite a 4 digit post count.

You don't know that you suck. You do suck, absolutely, but you saying that you suck and you actually believing that you suck are two entirely different pieces of pineapple.

Atlanta is a big ass city and you've got a college degree, [censored] all this [censored] about day labor or fast food, you should be able to get a job at some call center with a utility company or bank or similar. The pay will be better, the job easier, you'll get health insurance, etc. While you're working the late shift at tech support you need to figure out what you're going to do with your life. If you don't want a regular 9-5, fine, join the [censored] Army. College degree+lack of recruits= commission immediately. Maybe they'd beat some sense into you.

I really doubt YOU'VE met 5 people as intelligent or self-aware as I am, but here's the thing: that's always going to be true. Call it the curse of reasonable intelligence. You're just smart enough to realize how [censored] stupid everyone else is but not smart enough to be curing cancer or building spaceships. Everything is going to be "beneath" you for the rest of your life, you're always going to be dealing with that sting. That's pride [censored] with you. Pride only hurts, it never helps.
