There's a hell of a large space between rich and poor. I'm not rich nor poor but I've lived the American Dream. Worked my ass of my entire life to advance my career and income. Owned a home. Raised two great kids. Spent nearly 40 years with the same woman and we're remaining good friends. Right now I'm sitting in a paid for brand new RV in a beautiful area of San Diego country. I only have to work part time - from home. And I hope to retire in 4 years.

I'm far from rich but I can get by on very little money cause everything's paid off and I'm down to only a few bills a month.

Not a waste of time from where I sit. Are you this cynical and miserable to be around in real life too?
