Mo' Money, Mo' Problems

 Growing up my supervision semi-spoiled me lol; however, they made sure I knew how to work hard by doing chores.  They paid a brother way below minimum wage though.  I was sweating bricks for 5 or 10 dollars.  However, that was all tax free and IRS didn’t come knocking on April 15th. I remember back in the day; I would always say “I cannot wait to work”.  Why did I think work would be so awesome? Maybe it was because I wasn’t all for school at the time lol.  I guess I thought I would make my own schedule/money and not have to wake up early.  Yeah, that ended great for me lol.  These days you think you're getting paid, then your check comes, and boom Uncle Sam is getting rich off of you.  Let’s not even talk about all the things your check has to cover: rent/mortgage, food, transportation, looking good (my weakness is shopping), motha-freaking insurances, (health, car, home, life, you name it lol) & whatever else is waiting with their hand stuck out.  Also, work becomes your home as an adult because you essentially spend more time at work and with your coworkers then your actual family.  Basically, in grown up land, work is your norm and being home is a privilege.  Help me make sense of this mess!!!  I bet you wish you were back in school now huh!  I know I do lol!!  If you are keeping score, that is 3 for Adulthood & 0 for childhood lol.
