There are a lot of issues in this country and one issue that keeps coming up is helping the poor. I am all for helping the poor but recently I had an experience with some of the poor and I think we [the country] gives to much to the poor that cause it themselves. So at the church there are some who had babies out of wedlock. Actually got a lot more than "some"....more like at least 10 of them. Some of them got married and some didn't. I'm not here to judge or anything like that but there is one couple that I hang out with who has two kids. They are pretty broke as they both have regular jobs and no college education.
I felt bad for this couple and offered to pay for them on a occasion. Recently I have started to back off a little as my income is pretty much zelch right now. I walked into their house the other day and the husband goes, "look Sam we got an iPAD 2." This was my official thought: "WHAT?! I have been saving a money for an iPAD! I have a college degree and still can't buy an iPAD!" I was very upset! I found out that they got a HUGE tax return and that is how they spend it. It is unfair that a person who did it right by going to school, waiting until marriage, and getting a degree, can't afford an ipad but those who do it the complete opposite and don't even get their GED can afford all this nice stuff. It truly is sickening.
I am currently halfway in saving up money for an ipad 2 based off of he marked down prices since the ipad 3 comes out Friday. My change of jar is dedicated to an ipad and so are my best buy reward zone points. One day I will get an ipad and I will be patient and do it the right way. When I get that meteorology job and get the big money, eventually, I will be happy. In due time, in due time.
