Poor Kid, Rich City (Pt. 2)

That moment when you don't know how to explain to your friends that although that seven dollar commodity is cheap to them, it's expensive for you. You simply reply with, "I can't." Then they tell you to ask your parents for the money, but how do you explain to them the guilt you feel for taking your parents hard-earned money to spend on such unnecessary things? Some of these kids got brand new cars on their 16th birthdays. They don't get it. Again you reply, "I can't." Then your friends just think you're cheap.

This is what you say to them: "I would feel guilty for taking my parents' hard-earned money to spend on such things".

Yeah, tell me about it. Back when I was a poor student doing my internship, I couldn't have an expensive $25 lunch every day like they did. Even worse, they did it for 'fun'. Yeah, sorry guys but as a student I couldn't afford it. They were engineers, so yeah, no wonder they could pay it.

It's critical to always keep in mind not to try and please the sheep herd! Stay true to yourself! You show yourself! You don't sit around and try to please others for their stupid habits!

I'm proud of you man. You are a good person who values the hardship of money and work.
Take my word for it: you are unique and integer. They are nothing but worthless sheep. You're going to make it far someday!
