A common argument in this thread... "Back in the day"
How far back? $100 is fuck all these days compared to a decade or more ago. I recall 15 years ago thinking how much $100g was. Now it's nothing.

Very true. I use the mushroom price index. Mushrooms cost about 2.5x what they did 27 years ago.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It's not an insult, it's an observation.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Everything you post in almost every topic has a very black and white viewpoint of how the world is. In this case, a lot of people in this world get super shitty childhoods that don't set them up well for life.
The way you worded it, it was pretty clearly intended as a dig...I think now that it has backfired because you made assumptions about my upbringing, you are calling it an observation.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Anyway if you read the post you originally quoted, you would have seen I went out of my way to clarify that it is *not* a black and white issue, and I specifically wanted to avoid painting every situation with the same brush:
My initial posts were more harsh, but they were adequately explained thereafter and were based on actual experience, which may differ from the next person's experience.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Christ. It doesn't matter if you rented when you were growing up and that your family's financial status improved with time. The fact you had parents that were capable of maintaining an award winning lawn is the fact. I grew up in a house that didn't have much money, but I did have 2 normal, educated parents. I would like to think I would have succeeded in life if I had been brought up extremely poor by a mom with FASD, but who the fuck knows.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

John Cheese had some Cracked articles about growing up poor and trying to get out of it. Unfortunately they're all gone as it turned out he was a mega-creep.
But you can read this:

And honestly, I would say most of Beyond has above average intelligence (even when we all think each other are idiots). It's pretty easy to overlook how having that has helped us make overall good choices in life to elevate ourselves, because we've never been without it. Just imagine the dumb shit we do in our worst moments of being drunk... except that's how you think 24/7 while sober.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Small town living buddy. Gas money to drive to the nearest city would have wiped out the $100. In hindsight I should have sprung for a large bag of rice instead of the mr noodles.
I can eat more hot wings than you.
