One of my biggest pet peeves is when people question me about what I do for a living. I don't think the amount of money someone makes should be discussed between friends or family. I hate being compared to others. I've had a lot of retail jobs. So, what? I'm on my way to improving myself, instead of interrogating me, show some compassion. I understand that retail isn't a career job but they hire you with the quickness and when you're in desperate need of a job you can't really turn it down.
I hate that people judge others on how much money they make. My family has never been dirt poor but we weren't well off. Does that make me a bad person? A lot of people believe money will bring you happiness, not true. Money won't comfort you when you're down, talk your problems out with you, make love to you, confide in you....
Money is the route of all evil. Go ahead and say I support that statement because I don't have any but think what you want. In the end, you'll be left with a shit load of loneliness and I will be rich on love.

I agree with you 100% on this point. I work in retail as well. Less responsibility at work = less stress for me. I can't handle jobs that causes me to be under stress all the time. When I was married to my ex husband, we were well off financially, but we were very unhappy. Now, neither me or my boyfriend have money, but we love each other and I'm happier than I have been in my whole adult life. So, maybe I'm just saything this because it's my situation now as well, but it's true none the less. It always pisses me off when I tell someone where I work and they want to act like they feel sorry for me. For me, this was a choice, and one that I don't regret. Money does not make you a better person. Sometimes it can make you less of a person, beacause it makes you believe people with less money are actually worth less as people. That's just stupid. In a way though, I think all rich people feel that way. Anyway.... Ramble over....
P.S. Thanks for linking to me. I will link to you as well. You've got some good reading here.
