Gaston, I was taught at a very young age that people do not respect money that they did not have to earn on their own.

I have less than zero empathy for bartenders or strippers who make as you said $1000 on a weekend night and are still broke.
The entire industry outside of the corporate portions (and even then, they too) suffers from a tremendous amount of immaturity. It's high-risk, moderate reward from the top down, and all the employees try to act like rock stars, and they have the same odds at being wildly successful in that industry as becoming a rock star.
I believe Anthony Bourdain said something to the effect of "Hospitality is a vocation for 2nd or 3rd sons"
I was taught money is for spending, its not yours, you can't take it with you and when you are gone, it goes to someone else.

I was also taught that money needs to do something, and it sitting in your account or your mattress is a waste of potential. The wealthiest people in the world are
WORTH a lot of money, but they do not
POSSESS a lot of money. They put that money to work.
Damn Gaston, again I don’t necessarily agree but your creative writing skills are next to none

Serious Question,
When the Great Donald was on Twitter, on Fox, on whatever, lying and spreading propaganda left and right, not one person questioned his integrity, even knowing the things he said were so off the wall inaccurate....
Now Biden takes over and all I hear is, he said this, he said that. He didn't do this, or that, he lied to us.... therefor he is a failure.
Its literally been 30 days in office, you let the lies run rampant daily, hourly for the last 4 years with open arms....
Give the guy a chance to get the ball rolling FFS....
