I've been living paycheck to paycheck since I left my mom's house when I was 18. Recently I had a conversation with a friend on what would I do if I won the lottery and I'd told him that I'd open a homeless shelter and create a place where people could make a family. The. He said something that really got me thinking
“Thats a nice thought but there are so many hoops you'd have to jump not to mention all the taxes that would be taken from your cut and the land you'd buy would be taxed even higher.”
And I realized. Money's not the issue it's the whole fucking system. I could be rich tomorrow and I'd still be just as miserable, not to mention that I would live in constant guilt of having money while others don't. Growing up poor really gave me a perspective of the whole system and how evil toxic and exploitative it is.
