Do what I did, cuntface.  Work, get tertiary educated, buy your first
house when you're 19, progressively sell & buy better & better &
larger houses in better & better neighbourhoods, save like fuck for
your old age (although pricks like you rarely make it to savour your
old, retired, self funded old age), marry a good looking Euro woman
who can COOK!, have kids then fuck them off to make their own lives,
travel the world and travel your own psyche, experiment with sex &
drugs & rock 'n roll, think, pontificate, philosophise, keep working
but when you stop, stop and never go back, work for yourself in lieu
of working for another person, take the profits and run, etc etc etc.

Or, just make the same old self defeating bullshit decisions people
like you do and have a benighted, blighted, useless despairing life,
ya know what I mean?

And, by the way, if you want my property, or my possessions, or my
lucre, well, cuntface, come & take them.  Lol.
