thing is it takes more and more to have enough these days. I mean what I want now and and what I always wanted hasnt changed much, I just want a comfortable 1 bedroom apartment, a used humvee, all my bills paid, and enough money to retire. But in Australia having that costs about triple what it did when I first wanted it, and average salaries haven`t even doubled in the same period.

Reading your posts milspex, I think what your missing is a way out. I"m the same age as you, pretty much the same background and was an average student at best. I'm though happy in my skin, run my own company and f*** fine bitches between satin sheets. I was at the exact same point you were at not too long ago, but its like alcoholism, you reach rock bottom and then you say fuck this I'm going to do something about it. It all about setting a goal. Rather than thinking of having a one bed apartment, humvee etc, look at it in terms of what I need to do to make the money to get those things. Then forget being a consumer for a while and start saving up all your money and investing it in either yourself through education or some business idea. Its not that hard, it just takes time and self control. But if you really do hit rock bottom then its easier than just living the other way, cause you at least are aiming towards brighter days.

no shit genius. This is probably the dumbest advice I`ve ever gotten.

My first step towards my goals was going to be getting a job, of fucking course, but thats not going so well…

? Its easy to give hollow advice when you think you`ve made it. Larry just got lucky or knew the right people then built on it. Big deal, doesnt help me when he suggests making money somehow before I go to the Humvee dealership, its condescending and pointless.

No shit Larry? I have to make money somehow before I buy shit? Wow, thanks a lot, I thought I could just go and move into that apartment without having any money, thanks for your advice, it really helps. Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I don't see what big deal is about American sweets.

They're sweets, and you can't get them here… great. It's not very exciting really though is it.

Though tell you what, next time I'm down the newsagents and I pick up a quart of millions, I'll be sure to take a few smudges and stick it in here. Infact, think i've got an empty bottle of mountain dew knocking around you guys would love to see.
