Since when was being rich a definition of anything other than hard work?

sometimes it does and sometimes it does not.one of my nephews just graduated from college with a engineering degree and his working as a helper at a construction job.says they right person will find him.so you see hes not being paid as what hes got.oh and hes got the grades to prove but where is he now he's a freaking moron.

I know that I will always be smart enough to come up with something.

I graduated last year with a bachelors in Electrical Engineering. I've been working for a year now, and the way it's looking...the student loans that I'll be paying for the next 20 years will prevent me from becoming anything near "wealthy". Out of my graduating class, I had the highest starting salary, but a friend of mine making a bit less than I am, who had no student loans, and didn't need to find ways to take care of little bills and such, is doing a lot better than I am. He's driving the BMW, has all the fancy toys, etc. I'm rocking the 02.5 Protege5 with 108k miles, and going paycheck to paycheck.

I'm not saying this to brag or looking for sympathy, I'm just giving my example. I will say one thing tho...I'm much happier than alot of people I've seen that are considered wealthy...which is more important to me.

Amen, brotha.

But having some money can certainly make you happier. :)

Well for sure. Having some extra money will allow me to make it out to another meet with you guys...
