I am Honest

posted August 2nd, 2015 at 11:18 PM

I make $40,000 a year as an administrative assistant and its going to take me 25 years of hard work to save a million dollars. I am going to be living paycheck to paycheck the rest of my life and it will be a very hard life. So I am 25 and fairly attractive and am actively looking for a good man to love who makes a lot of money or has a lot of money. I don't consider myself a goldigger because I make my own money. I think its stupid to work so hard for so little when there is an easier answer.

Hope you find this arrangement, within a great, mutually optimal relationship.

No sarcasm, malice or any meaning intended other than the obvious. Vancouver is an economically difficult place, and life is uncomfortable here for many people. Starting one's own business is risky, stressful, and difficult; that option is only viable for a minority. Jobs that pay well are hard to come by, unless you're appropriately technically trained (finance, medicine, law, IT, etc.), or naturally inclined (sales, management, politics, etc.).

I wish you good fortune, in all senses.

I don't respect that. You should be happy with who you are and what you are capable of accomplishing on your own, regardless of how much, or how little.
You have a lot to learn about life and love.
And it isn't all about money and labels.

I remember my grandmother saying, "It's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor one." The operative word there, of course, was "love". If you don't genuinely love him, then you are a gold digger whether you make your own money or not. Whatever happens, I hope you find happiness. Maybe take a listen to Patsy Cline's song "A Poor Man's Roses".

Math class is tough! It's not fair that girls who did better in math make more money than I do for their honest 7.5 hours every day!

Why the f*ck do you need a million dollars?

I make a similar wage as you and live a pretty comfortable life. what the hell have you been spending all of your money on?!~?!?

Tough...

To expect so much from life when you're willing to do so little yourself to obtain- it's kind of shameful. Regardless of how much money someone makes, I don't see why would anyone want an anchor like you for a partner? Sounds like you'd be the first out the door if your fantasy man's money dried up. What kind of love would that be?

I am worried that some in my staff struggle with the same outlook. Only a fundamental change in the economy will allow us to think like we used to think = first car, second education, third job, fourth marriage, fifth own house, sixth kids, etc.

If that fundamental change in the economy will not come soon, young and future generations will have very different expectations and act very differently. This is not something that I am happy with or look forward to.
