I am a middle class American and I will not complain about anything because I know I live like a king compared to most of the world. It is a true privilege to be an American and have so much. To be an American is living a charmed life. It you are struggling in America you have not seized the opportunity that is everywhere. Americans should not complain. They have no idea how wonderful this great country is if they complain. I appreciate the privilege of being an American citizen. not every american has opportunity floating around for them to grab....apparently YOU lead a charmed life, with over 250 million people or whatever it is living in america, there is NO possible way for EVERY single one of them to be successful and there is no way you can convince me otherwise. i know people that try really hard & get s**t & i know ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing dumbasses that have had success fall upon them thru whatever chain of events led them there. it's not always about not trying, some people are in the "right place at the right time" so to speak, and some aren't. to try to apply whatever your situation is to everyone else & just infer that if other people are struggling then they must not be trying is really arrogant. Bitter much?

The best part is the ignorant American people wanting to blame Pres Bush for the gas prices......If its Bush's fault the gas prices are so high then what connection does Bush have with the UK cause they are payin out the ass too.

A lot of it has to do with the conflict we are involved in. So get a little knowledge about the state of affairs before you make claims that Bush has nothing to do with it. The war has a great deal to do with it. I will be satisfied when we start making alternative ways to power vehicles. Such as kinetics or other means. The science is there.

In America success is there for anybody that wants it. I live with my parents because I am lazy. I like my little low paying computer job. I like that the gas prices are going up because it helps get lazy people like me to work harder which builds character and leads to an even better America. May the gas prices rise.

1 Gal=about 4 bucks 1 Litre(4.5 gals)=about 9 bucks. Your 1 unit may cost more, but you get more gas than we do in our one unit. If we were to fill up to an equivalent to one litre, it would be exponentially more if gas was 4 dollars a gallon. Actually, it's completely the opposite. 4 liters = (about) 1 gallon. The Europeans get way more screwed on gas than we do. Yeah, I'll admit I screwed up. I still wasn't quite awake and was thinking backwards.

The gas prices can really hurt you, I love how people(some of you) see the world through these rose colored glassed and most of the time its because your still living with your parents and dont realize what the real world has in store...no matter what the case, I know gas prices are hurting me.
AND FOR THE FRICKEN' RECORD, just because some has a child young and it is an accident only means you have to man up quicker..the world slows for no one and one way or the other you will see that. Using protection does not mean you cant get someone pregnant and lets face it, crap happens.
I hardly making anything an hour, just enough to pay what I have to pay and my girl makes twice as much as i do but after driving back and forth to work she makes about as much as i do b/c i dont have to drive...so what does that tell you about all this when you have bills to pay, a baby on the way, and all the while trying to get back to school.
Life isnt passing me by and i have been grasping every moment this year but that does not meant im on top of the damn world preaching the gospel of my success. I got lucky...i couldnt find a job b/c of the economy and finally got something and had to work my ass off at it..nothing is being given to me. School ISNT free here in the US of A like it should be, The way we have done are people here and the things and events and war that has transpired has caused many nations to take a negative look on us and jack up the oil prices...for the record, Britain was backing us at least at the beginning of this little ignorant thing in iraq so they reap what they so as well.
Our economy is in a bad place...and idc what some of you say....life is not roses and yea america gives us alot of opportunities but when those opportunities for some are them taking their factories to other countries or cutting employees for more profits and using mechanical precise devices...it cancels out the working americans who would have had something to strive for and instead live off w/e buyout they get and hope that they can pick up something to move forward in their life...
im done ranting...i just wish people would realize that just b/c you have it good or you have it worse..everyone has a right to complain when gas prices were quite low and one president comes in and all of a sudden we are sky rocketing and the oil companies have no cap( for the ones here) and are allowed to charge what they wish...b/c "national security" is in jeopardy or some other ridiculous reason to raise the price a little more.

I save everything I make. I don't even go out socially only to work. Fun cost too much. When I retire at 65 I will be very comfortable until I am well past 100 by just living off the interest of what I have saved. Save everything invest well live well. No kids No Marriage they are too expensive. No problem. Gas can go up all day. I sacrifice for savings.

Why don't you just worry about the UK. Us Americans have this under control. That's because these days International relations is just one big pissing contest. The UK and Canada either love to brag about how much better they do something than the US, or bitch and complain about how much worse they have something and look for sympathy. It's really pathetic. Everyone should just worry about themselves.

No happiness. No social activity. Be a hermit and you will be alright. Older people saved with what they had. The prices going up like they have weren't something you can save for when you don't make that much anyway. Hopefully one day life will kick you in the ass and you will get a realistic view on how things work.

If it means being a hermit than thats what I will do. You need money to survive. It is reality. It is my reality.

Ask anybody in the financial world. Even a little saving can go a long way. A lot of saving goes even longer.
