-No idea what my health insurance is. My company provides it. I just pay like $30 out of pocket whenever I've gone. -I have a great job. Made almost $75k last year and didn't even go to college. I joined the Airforce instead. Got out, became a cop, and then applied for a job at a nuclear power plant and got it. AND I'm among the lowest paid people there. -I carry my wallet everywhere I go. I sit outside on my porch at night and look at the stars. I own my own land and I'm buying my own house. Should be paid off in about a decade. -The only debt I have is my home and basic utilities. Everything else is paid off except for my fiance's (she's white) engagement ring. I can pay it off right now but I like how the money looks in my bank account.
-I rarely, if ever, get sick. Sorry. My daughter (with my ex--she's black) goes to the hospital all of the time, though. Almost weekly. She has "Peach Care" so it's not expensive at all.
-Never been beaten up by a racist. People seem to love me and they're pretty nice. Not saying it didn't exist. I just don't see it, personally. Then again, I don't go looking for it.
-I love meat. I may eat too much of it. My fiance is an excellent cook.
-I own an acre of land. My taxes were about $900 last year. 4 bedroom, two bath. Well water. -*edit*: I made a thread a long time ago called "What's the poorest you've ever been". My family was dirt poor. I just kept a good attitude, worked hard at every job I ever had, and avoided stupid mistakes. I can pay virtually all of my bills in a single paycheck. My fiance dropped out of school, went back and got her GED, and she's successful, too. The only thing keeping me from moving into a better home is that I have a 30 year mortgage that began in the year 2000 and I don't want to rent my home out and haven't tried a realtor. It'll probably happen soon, though. Again, I'm not very religious but I do feel blessed! |
D21lewis you seem like the most level headed person on this thread. All this racism blah blah blah crap from people gets on my nerves. Of course there are racists here but it's nothing like some people seem to think and the people who cry about racism are usually the racist. America is a beautiful country and the only places you have to be rich to live are very liberal cities like NYC or LA. I live south of dallas tx so I guess you could call me some dumb red neck but I don't care. I love it here and I can afford to pay for my family with little college education, two kids a stay at home wife, a house payment and toys like four wheelers. You know how because I work hard for what I have and I don't whine about stupid shit like racism and free this and equality that but I'm sure some of you won't care because I'm just some dumb racist redneck right?
