I know people who live in rural areas, raising chickens and goats, living off the grid with basic necessities, growing their own food, earning less than $8,000 a year that live a life of wealth, being able to discuss a wide variety of educated topics. I have also met gangbangers at the E.R. with $15,000 cash in their pockets and a bullet hole in their side unable to take care of their basic needs, living in a boarded up house, peeing in a five gallon paint bucket, meanwhile adorned in gold chains, with an expensive watch.
