I can remember when I lived in Columbia in 1990 and just knew if I could make 8 bucks an hour I'd be set. I was paying 350/month to live in an apt in Prathersville. Now I live in a town of 2000, make over 60K not counting the benefits. I should be living like a king. I'm not, but I sure have some nice shit and a nice house.
It's amazing to sit back and think how having an extra 10 bucks then was really something and now I don't think anything about dropping a hundy on something stupid. It's a mindset and honestly, the more you make the more you spend for the most part.
So now I'm trying to go backwards.... find a lower paying job where I can get by and live off my business. Of course, I don't need the expensive vehicle, the HDTV and flatscreens, the pool table...I like that stuff though. So I'll put up with corporate america and all the bs until I can keep the toys and be happy with my job.
