CEO comes into the office doors with a million dollar smile & cigar, and says "This woman here, she is the future. Come into my office, and I'll show you the ropes!'

this, except about all the people in this thread taking the opportunity to post about how much harder they had it

Minimum wage people don't pay 30% in taxes despite what Fox News loves to claim. I know it's hard to believe but at that income level you only pay about 15% in taxes.

12 x 40 = 480 you retard

Now multiply that by 2 and subtract taxes, and you get what they make in a paycheck (paychecks are bi-weekly, you mega retard)

I don't know what would be more retarded, the dude thinking that 12hr weekly would be 840 dollars, or the dude thinking that 420 weekly is a living wage

Both display about the level of detachment from reality goons have

Considering you seem to be completely unaware that a "paycheck" refers to every 2 weeks of paid hours, also stated in the article, you're not really in a position to claim you know anything about income/salary/living wages.

I get paid every week and it's called a paycheck lol

All I did was not read the lovely article in the gbs thread, you're the guy who said 420 a week isn't that bad

she only seems to mention the bourbon, I guess she wasn't aware of the other pictures.

This is just an article she wrote about herself, nobody gives a poo poo

I guess she can't look back in pride at what she achieved after the fact?

pride is a sin, didn't you go to church?

You seriously read that article and didn't get annoyed?

Someone who writes an "open letter" to some schmuck kid who made Twitter news and turns it into a wankpiece about herself is hosed in the head

so which minimum wage job are you currently filling?

imo as someone who also graduated at the height of the financial collapse i want to give her a high five because that's the poo poo i had to do to get where i am today. everything she said is correct and that needs to be rammed down kids throats. you will get nowhere in life without hard work and determination.

it's pretty funny seeing all these sputtering angry posts and the true life anecdotal bootstrap stories of goons nobody gives a poo poo about, but there is already a millennial thread for that so :gas:

It's because they're lazy. I understand though. Why work when you can vote for someone to steal money for you?

Stocks, bonds, objects of art, real estate. What are they? An opportunity.

To what? To make money? Perhaps.

To lose money? Perhaps.

To 'indulge' and to 'learn' about ourselves? Perhaps. So loving what?

What isn't? They're an opportunity. That's all they are. They're an event.

A guy comes to you, you make a call, you send in a card. 'I have these properties I would like for you to see.' What does it mean? What do you want it to mean.

Do you see what I'm saying? Things happen to you.
