Why do people with money forget what it's like to have none?
Advertisements [?]
I met this woman tonight. I was explaining to here how I'm apartment hunting. She tells me I should live in Yaletown, I tell her, "No way it's too expensive."
She retorts, "Big deal, live life, just do it."
I say, "That's fine and dandy but when you have students loans and and what not, you'd like to not pay 50 per cent of your income to rent."
I mention if I'm paying that I'd rather mortgage. Then she goes of about that and "Don't worry about money, you'll always be in debt....blah blah blah."
Then she mentions where she lives now, her house is $500,000 minimum. I just felt like saying, "When you have money, it's easy to not worry about it...so shut the FUCK up."
It's like that old saying, "The only people who think about money more than the rich are the poor."

God, I hate when rich people try to tell me not to worry about money.
