I have a lot of friends who claim to be “poor.”  I think that they just have their priorities mixed up.  When they call me up to say hello they cry to me about how poor they are, but they are really living “high on the hog” and simply need to take a look at (and change) their priorities. 

I hear from them about how broke they are, and they are feeling so sorry for themselves because they just had to pay a car payment on their big expensive luxury car.  And they are poor because they just bought a luxury townhouse condominium in the “rich” part of town and have to pay the mortgage on it.  And they spend so much money on food because they eat every meal out in a restaurant!  And then they come crying to me because the electric company wants them to pay their electric bill!   And the next thing I hear, they have just come back from a month-long luxury vacation cruise!  And yet, they are always telling me “money is tight!”

It makes me sick just thinking about it!
