I make $24,000 a year and I am happy. I'm nearly 55 and I live within my means. I am happy to have a job, and I am loyal to my employer. I went to community college for 2 years. I have 2 cars. A great wife, 2 dogs. A small home. I smile at the end of each and every day.

I watch TV, and I see this OWS "movement, and some of the interviews done by various media outlets. I have noticed some trends. Such as complaining about student debt. If you went to college and got a degree in "liberal arts, or fine arts", and have a large student loan debt after-wards, so what? You did not consider the consequences of getting a degree that's pretty much worthless in the real world. Mickey D's sounds like where you are destined to work. And why not WORK while going to college, ever heard of PAY YOUR WAY? Give me a break. Bunch of Morons.

Your house getting foreclosed? Why didn't you rent before you jumped into an overheated housing market? Didn't your parents teach you anything? So what if you get foreclosed? It happens every day. Life goes on. This OWS group does not represent anyone but a small group of unhappy people, who don't understand how the world works. They are not representative of the VAST majority of Americans, who work hard, VOTE, and don't make serious mistakes in their lives In actuality, OWS is maybe the %0.0075 percent of "Americans who want some kind of LALA land where they are taken care of from cradle to grave. OWS needs to Man/Woman up, and if you have to fail, so be it. Sh*t happens. Quit saying you are speaking for me. I am about the most average Joe in the US. You>> OWS<< are not talking for me.
