That's straight up bullshite! I have a very good paying job and if I only work 40hrs a week I barely can pay my bills and living expenses with zero left over. I don't have a car note or credit cards.

I don't know how a lot of people make it.

Here is the answer right in front of us!

This guy makes it (barely) on 40 hours per week. That’s the same situation my wife and I were in back in 1985. But I didn’t just work 40 hours per week. I worked about 55. And you know what we did with all of that extra money? Well, we didn’t blow it on indulgences like vacations and restaurants. We saved, and we developed the financial cushion I referred to in the post above.

You guys think we had it easier, but we didn’t. We (some of us) were just more willing to put in the extra work. You’re not willing. Don’t blame us for that.

That dude either doesn't know how to manage his money or he has no clue what a "very good paying job" actually is.

HAS to be 1 of the 2.

You’re such an a-hole. Did he say he was blowing it on “indulgences”? Nope. You just think he is because you have no concept. Just making shite up in your head. Sad old frick.
