      Keep dreaming, peasant!

      I remember when I graduated college in ‘09 and employers had that “You’re lucky to have a job!” attitude while they paid me $10 an hour. At that time, however, I was lucky to have a job.

      I’ve never been really comfortable since.

      right?

      if I somehow amassed a billion dollars it wouldn’t last long. I’d figure out the bare minimum I needed to live comfortably without the need to work, maybe double it for safety, and then start improving the lives of people who are or have been important to me, or those I judge most in need (or perhaps who would benefit the most, if different)
