Sin justian: Sometimes it's easier if you've got some money in financial security. Some of my friends that were like hustling just to make enough money till te live now have gone into smal business things. I can certainly think of examples of people who came from a lot of money and just never, you no kind of whatever. You know, were wantripeners, trying to be cool, and never really made much of it.
