Today, I am writing about a subject
that might make some of you uncomfortable, or even offend you. If that is the
case, put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
Yes, we have established
that I am broke; owe lots of money to lots of people. But I think that I am an
ok individual. Take that back, I know I am ok. I look around the county that I
live in and see so many people who are in the same boat as me. But there is a difference
between them and me. I am broke and have morals and class. Sadly, there are
some who do not.
Here is my motto for how I live much of my life; if you can’t
afford it, then you can’t afford it. I get so mad when I see all these
deadbeats who have warrants out for their arrest for writing bad checks. Didn't
someone ever tell them how irresponsible that was? I realize that the majority
of these people don't care that this makes them look ridiculous. But most of
these people have children. For goodness sake, you know how embarrassing that
must be to have your mugshot plastered on the internet all because you decided
to be an irresponsible adult. Grow up! Not only do you have to deal with the
repercussions of this, but so do your kids. They have to go to school and here
other kids make fun of them because their parents decided to act like
deadbeats.
What’s even sadder is that a
lot of these people are in denial. They seemed to have forgotten that their
hand is the one that signed those bad checks. I love hearing them talk in the
grocery store about it, when they think no one else is listening. I hear “oh it
was a mistake and I made the sheriffs dept. fix it”. LOL Really? Then why did
they have your mugshot to begin with? Oh they must’ve followed you around and
snapped one of you right?
Geez. It is people like this who give the rest of us
broke folks a bad name. I am not saying that I have never had an overdraft at
the bank. But I have never denied it, and I have always brought my account into
good standing. People need to realize that every decision and choice you make
in this life have consequences. It is sad that some seem to think that this
world owes them.
Here is my advice to you: The world does not revolve around
you; nor does anyone owe you anything! You want something in this life you work
for it and earn it. Pay your bills! Don't overextend yourself. And most of all,
be the kind of person that your kids are proud to call their parents
.
Again, if this offended anyone it wasn't intended to, it was
my rant for the day!
Until next time….
