One of the things that drvive me very crazy about other people.

I have to say that I am not rolling in riches but I keep my bills paid. I sometimes see fellow co-workers., old school friends and some family that have more luxaries in life than I do. I work 4 days a week have 2 boys and also go to school. I do not have any television..because there is not time in my life for tv and the bill for the cable/satelite is not a priority in my life. I also drive an older gas saver car that has a few bumps and bruises, but it is paid off. I dont own the newwest coolest phones, ipods, computer gadgets or games. I am pretty simple and have very few luxeries in my life. The most expensive play toy I have is my bike and it is something I love to do with my kids. Anyhow my piont is...others have made comments to me as though I have it easy, I dont I have it harder than them with fewer luxeries. If you bought a big screen tv with the biggest cable package..dont wine to me that you cant afford the bill. I dont have either and find both a extra that is not needed in everyones life like people think. Some people think I am weird when I say I dont have television.. I dont see that as so odd. I dont have time to watch it anyhow. When I do get a hair to watch a show I will go and rent one. But I dont appreciate the big OH MY GOD you dont HAVEE A ELEVISION PACKAGE.. I think it is as rude to say as...OH MY GOD you pay 150 dollars a month for television and paid over 3000 dollars for your tv... are you stupid? what could possibly so important on that screen that is worth as much as my car? I respecty them when they say they are avid show wathcers..so why cant they understand that I am not? and I would not ev er ask anyone for money to pay for my entertainment..though I have seen others do. I would not have a decked out package on my phone if I had to barrow monrey to buy my groceries.. then act as though because the person said no.. they were awful. I think igf your really in need youd shed some luxeries and pay for your needs. I am just venting on this subject cause it iritates me when people carry around the newest phones and gadgets but are complaining cause they cant pay their light bill.
