and these people don’t even know the time and money you give so some of us can be entertained. the set up that you have here that lets you blog and us comment and laugh at the way you view life is something most folks that have expendable money would not understand. mush like my previous sentence! Bless you for all that you do and imagine what you could accomplish if you and your wife didn’t have to work full time to live. If I had five in my pocket, I would enjoy it more watching my kids spend it than spending it on myself

Rob, I agree with everything you said. I wanted to say something similar to someone yesterday when he said I had no idea what it’s like to be working class and not middle class.

I wanted to tell him he has no idea what it’s like to work full-time while taking 17 hours of college classes.

Five bucks was my allowance back when I was a kid; save it enough and you could buy some great videogames that made for cheap entertainment. I never got rid of my old games and they still work, so I view it as some of the best money I ever spent!

You only gave the kid 5 bucks? What a cheapskate. What can you get for 5 bucks in 2011?

You worked to earn that right to help your kids enjoy the fruits of yhour labor…too many people that blame sucsessful people have never tried to be that way they would rather spend their time pissing and moaning about how unfair life is

The struggles we have in life teach us how to survive, make us strong, and give us a great source of self-worth and pride. They make us who we are. You and Susan have a lot to be proud of!

There was not a lot of extra cash for this sort of thing in my early childhood, and I probably made my mother miserable for it whenever we did scrape enough to go out somewhere like Shakeys and I had to ruin it by whining like a dog for an extra dollar to play Space Invaders.

Those days are long behind me now, and thanks in part to my parents doing the best job they could raising me, I’ve got a fairly decent means of supporting myself and my family, which extends to having a little fun now and then without agonizing much over every cent spent. I not only can, but want to, slip my kids the occasional fivers whenever we’re at Chuck E. Cheese or at a hotel on vacation. It’s not because I think I’m Daddy Warbucks, but factually I am in a better position to do this for them than my own parents were for me, and it makes me happy to freely give them something from what I’ve earned on my own. There’s no reason to be ashamed of this.
