ok, that's nice to think that way but it won't stop some people from coming up and bypassing you, so don't be surprised. anyway tho, my post was not referring to you in the first place, unless you and the op are the same person.

No we aren't the same person. I have to say that your response to him isn't accurate though. Cops make crappy pay when they start but within 5 years they can earn close to if not over 6 figures.

There is a certain mindset out there that values $300 sneakers and a fly ride over paying for an education or saving a down payment for a crib.

and you will also find homeless people living on the streets worth millions as well.

The lesson learned should be not to judge.

The present value of those cops pensions and healthcare benefits makes that street money look like chump change.

It's not a judgement, friend, just an observation. Another observation I'd be willing to share with you is that those millionaire homeless dudes are less of a drain on society than those $300 sneaker wearing, fly ride driving homies.
