The most miserable existence that I can think of is to have everything and appreciate nothing.

Sounds like my health insurance company. I filed a claim for a pinched nerve. Without reviewing my information they told me that it was a preexisting condition and denied it. It took me a year to get it straightened out.

First they said they classify all claims as preexisting if they don't receive the medical records for the visit. I contacted the physician and she told me she had sent the records over. I bounced back and forth between physician and insurance company and randomly one day the insurance company says...

"Oh hey, wait a minute... It looks like they sent the records over on day one."



This was 7 months after it was supposed to have already been processed.

I also went to see a radiologist that day. The radiologist contacts me about a year after my claim and tells me they still haven't been paid. The insurance company swears up and down they've paid this one. Turns out they did... To the wrong damn company...



My employer has switched medical insurance providers. Halleilujah...

Yeah I always feel bad for you guys in the US. Even one regular family that pulls in like 80k a year could be easily wrecked if somehow they had no health coverage for even a few weeks :\

Yea they got really serious with me about that too. I got laid off last January and didn't have healthcare for like 5 months and they freaked out on me about that.

"Why weren't you covered?!"

Clearly I contracted AIDS and a flesh eating virus in that time and want to scam you...

Even if I did have those problems, I'm paying you to hold me down.

Reading those comments turned my stomach.

Me thinks those spoilt brats could do with <s>trying<s> (strikethrough fail.) being madeto live on the street or to barely be able afford to eat.

Unfortuantly those of us that value pointless gadgets and actually see those gadgets as personal achievement heavily outweighs those who seek real personal gain and achievement. Oh what the future holds...

The sad part is the gadgets actually do have value... Just not in the hands of those silly ....s.

But I have a similar view of "today's youth" which sadly includes my own age group.

They aren't the only ones guilty of it though. I have an aunt who is not in such great shape financially, but she bought an Iphone (cuz everyone has one lolo) even though she didn't know you can put music on it, she's in her early 40's

Also with the generation before that my grandma bought some ridiculous silverware or something like that even though my Dad's side was broke as .... then


Basically bitches be stupid.

I think some of it is that people don't want to be "left out," and as you clearly pointed out... Some don't even know what they're missing out on.

Same, its odd to be 22 and feel like my own generation's views on whats important could not be further from my opinion.

Then again I may just be an old man stuck in a young man's body! I would rather my old nokia brick over an iphone as i know it works and i wont break it in under 5 mins! (Also I have a laptop etc to go on the internet, my phone is for calling people) I have no interest in fashion or indeed the opinion of others about my fashion. Im not part of any social networking websites. I dont think that things are cool because someone else likes it or indeed alot of people dont even know of it.

Still... each to their own, however (i know kids dont) but they should think about how words like that make their probably loving parents feel, selfish little... grumble mumbles... I'll go back to my cave :P

The best way of learning is CONQUERING stuff in small doses, then when they 'have everything', they would know their values and will appreciate them.
That's the main difference between who get rich working and who was born rich.
Who was born rich don't know how is living with so little, they don't even know how a cup of water is valuable and to some, it's golden.
