"Most people work long, hard hours at jobs they hate that enable them to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like."

silly some people ...

have a great day Ace

It's not to impress the people you don't like. It's to impress the ones you like and affirm that you are better than the ones you don't.

Thanks! You, too.

And (of course) if the ones we like need to be impressed to like us, we might want to reevaluate our liking.

Or something like that.

No they shouldn't have to be impressed to like you. That's just frosting on the friendship cake.

I kid of course, it's not like I can actually afford to impress with material things.

Until I become one, rich people are stupid.

I work long hours at a job I don't hate, but I'm a little sick of, to make money to do the unnecessary shit I want to do and have the unnecessary shit I wanna have.

Oh...and feed my kids and pay my bills etc.

another happiness tip: don't wear shoes on the beach. they'll just get full of sand and your feet will chafe. go barefoot instead. unless, of course, it is a dog beach and then you'll want to keep your shoes on. definitely on.

well, since we're discussing the matter, it wouldn't hurt if you'd wait till i finished using the toilet. much as i love you dear, that's not the type of shower i like to start the day with.

Dave Ramsey has a similar quote, focusing more on the financial side of life:

"People spend money they don't have on things they don't need to impress people they don't like"

no, I think it IS the ones you don't like, cause those are the ones whose misery at not being as good as you that you like to enjoy - a touch of schadenfreude! You know you HATE it when they have a better EVERYthing than you, or is that why you hate them in the first place?

Hence the denim shoes.

That tragedy was not cheap.
