Once again dude, you should stop dealing with hood rats.

Resentment and jealousy isn't really an issue with my friends because they all "somewhat" benefit from my success. I've paid for friends to go to shows with me, I have a lot of technology in my house that they would have never been able to afford and use, etc. The one thing I do see happening though is they don't really think I work. They know I spend all day in front of a computer but I don't think they realize that I do have daily responsibilities that must be attended. I also think that they assume I have more "cash" than I really do. I don't keep cash, I have no use for it, most of my income is reinvested so that 3 months down the line I receive bigger checks. They don't quite understand sacrifice like I do and sometimes thats very strange for me to grasp.

Example: I have a friend who's been having major teeth problems for over a year. He always complained that he couldn't afford to get them fixed. So I told him all of his options, the main one being dentist financing. He is just NOW getting his teeth fixed. Over the past year he has bought 3-4 comic books a week, goes to a local show once every 2 weeks, buys new CDs or DVDs weekly, goes to a movie weekly, eats out or orders in once or twice a week. You can afford all of that but can't afford to fix your teeth? Bull shit.

I have 2 friends like this that always complain about being broke but are constantly buying "stuff". I just don't understand the mentality of it all.
