LifeSans: Need? Really?

  • suraya · 11 months ago
    Argh!! when people say "I can't do that because I can't afford it" when really they mean "I can't do that because I've made a rational decision that I'd rather spend what money I do have on some other leisure activity." I think the former is (a) an insult to people who actually can't do things they want to do because the genuinely can't afford it, and (b) ever bought anyone a drink with your last five dollars because they said they were 'poor', only to realise that their definition of 'poor' is that their savings account has fallen under $10,000 in the black?

    Hey Suraya

    Exactly, it's just another form of overstatement, used to justify their wants.

    Nice expansion :)

    Thanks for stopping by!
