Another thing I think is hilarious is the number of people who posted in that acting like nobody ever gave them anything, while admitting they went to public schools, received student loans (gov't subsidized), attended state subsidized universities etc. Heck a fair amount of them admit that they work/worked/want to work for the government.
Now I am all for people working hard and being successful, but that website is just a pathetic way for people to brag and disavow the programs that they used to get where they claim they are.
We are a couple living in an expensive state (NEW JERSEY) and after taxes bring home less than $40k COMBINED. We took a major paycut from previous jobs, but we have changed our standard of living!! We got rid of all of our excessive wants and focused heavily on our needs first!! We still pay rent, our 1 car payment, our 1 credit card, our health insurance, and STILL find some money to be saved each paycheck! We could have played the victim card, but we don't. We had no problems getting rid of some of our useless wants in order to live within our means.
We are responsible people.
Why aren't you?!
I need to submit something. This.. this is such an incredible blog.

Try living on minimum wage and see how that works out for you.
Each according to his abilities, each according to his needs!
