“It’s alright for you, but I haven’t got a penny to my name,” someone said to me when I was talking about money making.

I argued that sometimes it is best to have nothing because you then have nothing to lose. Plus you should also have an incentive to remedy the situation. Life isn’t like that, of course, and many would prefer to let the state take care of them and finish watching the latest reality show on television.
