lol.
Scientists?
So I assume ALL of them sold anything beyond what they need for basic subsistence? asked that their salary be lowered to the average salary in the US?
Yeah. No.
There are downsides to lobbing around smoking pot and going to protest marches.
The key is balance. Make money, but don’t break the rules and treat others like stepping stones on your way to the top.
Scientists live off government grants. That’s why they kiss government a$$ and promote garbage like “climate change.”
Same advice that our grandmothers gave us-——these folks have too much time on their hands.
Didn’t Chelsea Clinton say that she didn’t care about money? LOL

YES!!
The difference between whether something is a major crisis or just an inconvenience frequently comes down to whether you have the money available to pay. At that point, it largely becomes an expense, not a problem.
Money won’t solve all of your problems, but it certainly makes dealing with them easier.
Like they say: money doesn’t buy happiness, but it lets you be unhappy in a lot of nice places
Try not having money, having a couple of strokes like I had this year, and get back to me. Newbs...
So this is what is wrong with the welfare queens and college snowflakes. They’re psychos in pursuit of “free” money.

I liked myself back then and now equally but can handle most stress with ease now.
YA THINK??!!
Volumes can be written about the most famous contemporary grifter...
The old, ugly, fat, criminal cow, CLINTON!
That’s why I rent happiness.
"Money doesn't buy happiness, but, then again, neither does poverty."
Seriously though, money does impact your freedom because it gives you more options.
The nice thing about having plenty of money and
being unhappy is that you have plenty of money.
