Papadopoulos Claimed Trump Campaign Approved Russia Meeting

Fuck I'm trying but it isn't easy...and I'm not going to say I've always been successful. In fact in my 30 odd years of life I'd estimate the vast majority of everything I've attempted has ended in total failure, some things even pushed me back. I just didn't give up. I never blamed anyone for my parents being so poor we could barely afford to feed ourselves. I never blamed anyone for the shitty public education. I just literally kept at it until I was able to be successful. Lots of things I didn't want to do, some I did. Some things I did like finance and learning that industry killed me.mentally, the stupid things people would do for loans or money. I couldn't tell someone that it was a terrible loan, that they were stupid for thinking it was a good deal. You can't convince anyone how to spend their own or someone else's money. Idiots just want to be taken advantage of and get mad when you try to help them. So I stopped trying to help. Now I am comfy, huge amount of diverse savings and investments from property to stocks and bonds. You can lay in to me if you want, I know thousands of people who make more than me. But none of them from my home town, none of them grew up with me. All of them had it handed to them on a platter. That's why I don't buy in to this you can never make it if the deck is stacked against you. My mom was an addict - I'm where I'm at and happy because I did it myself. I'm married now and between us both we push well over 100k but it wasn't handed to us - we both struggled to get where we are. I admire people who work hard to get what they want. The rest can pound sand for all I care.
