And that is why you will never be wealthy to do anything you want. It is this very attitude that is holding you back. Not the evil white man, but your entitlement mentality of "imma gonna get mine rite now dog'!"
To put your attitude in perspective. For the weekend we're going to roast a turkey breast, rice as a side, broccoli, the evil potato and some gravy from the turkey. And the root vegtables from the turkey. That will feed me and my wife for a good 3 days.
What if I want to do is eat burgers from Jack In The Box every day? My biggest love in life is eating. And I love fast food, so by eating fast food I'm absolutely loving my life. I'm a simple person. I don't need trips to Spain, a fancy car or a big house. Give me a Big Cheeseburger on grilled sourdough + 2 tacos from JITB. And I hate to burst your bubble but if I ate nothing but rice and beans I wouldn't be wealthy. $2.50 a day on fast food which would be $1 if I ate "healthy" would be about $500 a year, and I wouldn't be enjoying life. Doesn't seem like a good trade off at all to me. Are you saying $500 a year would make me wealthy? I guess in some 3rd world country maybe.
