What are these things you've done that got you nowhere?
Do you have a job? If not get one and go from there. Money is everything.
Money is the reason the world is shit enough as it is. Be poor, Be Happy.
Don't believe that either. You're favoring one side of the wealth coin over the other when both sides are shit.
That maybe true. But the whole idea of being rich scares me.
It's not about being rich. It's about having the money to feed yourself and put a roof over your head. And if want to go that far, the money to buy a safe environment for your family and then some for leisure.
