I always enjoy reading your posts… One thing I wanted to throw out there was with what you said above… Is it always like that ? I mean I tend to think of money like I think about food / water / oxygen… I think of it like this… When your starving for food, all you want to do is get some… thats pretty much the main thing on your mind… Same with air… someone is holding you underwater damn you really need some air… but what about when we are full , or have plenty of air… we never think about it then… breathing air is something i hardly ever think about but something i REALLY need hahaa obviously money isnt that intense of a need but I think of it the same way If your working paycheck to paycheck right… and your are absolutely just dying to pay the rent and have a few bucks left over for a gallon of gas… how the hell is that gonna make you feel ? Your whole life is all about making money, because if u slip for one minute then you get kicked out your apt or foreclosure… dont have enogh gas to get to work… So thinking about it in that way, I think maybe in some situations its not always how you say it is above… you dont get “obsessed” But then again it all depends on “how you get it” If your trading your hours for the dollars, if you have a boss, if your doing overtime, and you want to make more and more and more…then that is where I feel like it falls into the situation you said above… But if your getting money by other means, commonly investing… or having a business that works for you… then perhaps its a bit different? The kids of sam walton, I doubt they are stressed the fuck out every day with money the only thing on their mind… I think the fact that they have something setup for the long term, that generates money for them really relieves alot of stress, and they only make more money… as time moves on… > [@Official: Bucky Man Hunt Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-bucky-man-hunt-thread/17168/177): > > I think a few people in this thread were mainly just concerned that you were going to piss you money away. I know I semi was. Yeah we’re not friends and we never talk but I have known you for years now and have seen a number of kids rip through a lump some of money buy all these things and then be back to broke with no way to up keep the things they bought. > > Your friends with all the people I know to be good people. Good people generally associate with good people. Its like there are certain names you automatically attach to this area and cars cause they have been doing it forever. Anyone would hate to see another one of those “car jedi” fall. So I think on my behalf at least I was just concerned for well being. I have never been friends with someone just cause the car they drive, but i have met people because of the car they drive. thats how I feel , or felt, after cossey posted I feel like hes just fine and the same shit you said above… I dont know cossey personally, yea we met a few times and I think thanks to my crazy ways he probably doesnt take me seriously which is fine i respect that. but i know hes boys with vlad and others i know who are really really good genuine people… so i had a common concern for cossey which wasnt on purpose or for any other reason I have a friend who grew up with me in colonie, kid was broke as fuckkkk for his whole life. I mean really bad, I remember times he slept outside in colonie, then came to school with grass and shit in his clothes hahaa, good kid , really good heart, but really shitty brought up. Anyways the fuckin idiot got bit by a dog comin home from school and long story short lawsuit ended in him getting over 100 grand… He got that shit and blew it out his fucking ass in one year… thats it, thats the story… I was with him for alot of it he spent alot of money on his friends including me, which I thought was nice and I would do the same any day, but within reason, 100-150 grand is not alot of money especially when u have no income at all…and spending a grand a day for a month So because of that I had some worry for cossey but its nothin im sure hes fine > [@Official: Bucky Man Hunt Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-bucky-man-hunt-thread/17168/184): > > after all the useless trash, and shit on here, this is a great post. :thumbup > > that being said, i’m a pretty damn humble guy, but if you live my life you kinda gotta be. i have 2 beat ass bmw’s, none of which are fast, or anything special. i could make them anything and everything i wanted with my own two hands, but don’t have the $ to do so… sometimes it gets frustrating just watching everybody around you mod their cars, and just splurge. i wish i could do that still, but i’ve come to terms. it took me months just to be able to afford to mount some rims on my car, and my other is sitting with rust, dents, and a shattered windshield. it wasn’t even on the road last year because i simply couldn’t afford it. this state is a fucking wasteland when it comes to raising a child, and my kids mother is too immature, and irresposible to make things any easirer. the sooner i accept things and move on, the better, since i’ll be paying child support until in in my 40’s. again, not saying it wasn’t my fault, but it happened. i was the sole provider for her, and her mother, only to be walked out on. now no matter where i work, or what i do, i have to make enough to satisfy the system, and survive for myself, (which this state could give a rats ass about.) i do know there are a handful of people on here in the same position, but most probably have multiple forms of income. i know no matter how much i make, they will just take more of my $ based on that. its like an uphill battle, that i just need to face. :wierd pete your a really good guy who dont run away from shit, i really respect that and you keep it real, yea you got some HORRIBLE fucking road rage that I think u need to get some counciling for… but other than that your really chill and the post above was really… enlighting lol… i think u’ll be fine man just keep an open mind and being positive really does matter > [@Is it just me or does wheel selection for the Ford Focus suck?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-it-just-me-or-does-wheel-selection-for-the-ford-focus-suck/17184/8): > > We should see if we can get a shift518 group buy discount some where :rofl I’m not kidding, i need a laser brazilian , so let me in on this… > [@Official: Bucky Man Hunt Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-bucky-man-hunt-thread/17168/151): > > You are a good friend too and you know it.
