Fuck the #MiddleClass is what I heard them Say
#FuckAmerica & I say America because I wasn’t an Adult when I resided in the other country but here we go:
Looking over my last 12 months of budgets by the grace I have been making it. It’s funny the way the world distributes “value” over the things we created. I believe $1 is worth $0.86 in cost to make yet you can’t spend $8.60 and buy ten dollar bills to have $10. What does it say about the logic of humanity and the persistence for struggle? I’m not complaining just stating facts but seriously think about it:
Here I am soon to be 24, no kids, no frivolous spending, pursing a Master’s Degree, been gainfully employed since 14, pay a decent car note, live in a decent neighborhood and what we make while trying to reach our goals is deplorable. I see why people are lax at work or just don’t give a fuck. So what I have to live in a dangerous rundown neighborhood? Not drive a reliable car? Am I living beyond my means because I want to be comfortable in my home or know my car is going to start when I need it? No I do not think I am. My car payment and residential expenses alone are over $1,000 a month not including, gas for the car, utilities, food, clothing, etc., heaven forbid I run over a city pot hole & have to pay out $500 for a rim or have an emergency elsewhere. So here it is you’re in school, you’re working, doing all the “right” things yet you still check to check. If it wasn’t for the HUSTLER in me the skillsets taught @ the beginning age of 11 I don’t see myself making it.
What does society say do? Be a rapper, be an actress, sell drugs, fast money etc. Or those who are in the few affluent positions “Work harder etc.” Bitch everybody can’t be the CEO who gon work for the CEO so they can be CEO? Who gon be in the audience so this bitch can sing? Exactly The only reason some humans have “fans” is because they have something that fan wants. If everybody was rocking the same and living the same you wouldn’t give two fucks about a Beyoncé or The Game etc. you got what they got.
Ok so you still here reading (that’s good I appreciate it). Now I’m single. Now keep my same income now add in children, childcare, dead beat parents so you a single parent, etc. Or those who bought into this system and worked all their life and STILL have to work because retirement is horrible or shall I mention we ALL need the peace of mind of healthcare knowing if needed, we can go to the doctor. The point of this is twofold:
We give value to gas, housing, clothing, food, and even the money we use to acquire these things. Why not I don’t know make it easier for EVERYONE who puts forth QUALITY not QUANTITY so all things can be acquired equally.
As a WORKING class citizen at ANY level since most are paid bi-weekly ONE check should cover ALL overhead expenses and transportation – Shelter Cost, Transportation, Utility, Internet Provider Services, etc. Whatever is needed to keep your household a float! Your SECOND cheque should be for miscellaneous things like credit card payments, cell phone, small dumb bills Netflix etc. Then people can actually SAVE $, enjoy their life, and be pleasant at work because A LOT of stress is alleviated and gone.
Now if you have frivolous spending: gambling, shopping, etc. basically irresponsible then this isn’t the budget for you and you deserve to be miserable. Who the hell thought of working 8 hours out of the 24 we given each day? How do we enjoy life, enjoy the things we pay to support if we don’t have the time to do them in? I know saying fuck America is harsh but it’s a reality the top don’t give a fuck about the bottom.
In closing, no I don’t care to be flashy and flossy and desire the high life diamonds n gold’s, but to be able to earn a honest living and not have to worry about how I’m going to make it, to be able to go to Wal-Mart and buy everything I want, take myself to the movies once a week if I want, go on frequent vacations, have a comfortable home, have a dog, donate to charity, etc. those little things. Not hit it rich and now I can only drink $300 dollar bottles of water or only can wear $3000 dollar pumps, etc. GET REAL~ So! Be wary of the things you support with your MONEY cause 9 times out of 10 they not supporting you!
Signed,
The Middle Class…..Trees bitch. BOTTLES!!!!
