His friends aren't really his friends, women only want his money, and as he even told me before, all he does is just work to keep making more money. It's an addiction. One he's really come to hate.<br /><br />I wouldn't turn down making more money than I do now, but poor and happy? Check! That works just fine for me.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.com
