This is America and everyone has the right to live how they like. Sure that guy has every right in the world to work a dead end job and live in a trailer. Nothing illegal about that.

People are more than welcome to live in poor ghetto neighborhoods with high crime.

Homeless people are more than welcome to live on our streets rather than getting a real job.

But....

Just like Donald Trump says... "surround yourself with successful people and you're more likely to be successful".

Working a dead end job living in a trailer isn't the type of life I consider successfull.

Again..this is America and if the person is perfectly happy then more power too him.

I personally would rather live next to a doctore/lawyer and get stocks tips from my neighbor, rather than live in a trailer and have my neighbors all be underachievers.

Since this is a looking back on high school thread.....
1. The friends that partied the hardest and were the biggest fuck ups back then are STILL doing nothing with there lives. Dead end jobs, still doing drugs etc..
2. The friends from back then that I'm STILL friends with...they are the ones that partied BUT still were responsible and had there shit together. They went on to college, great work careers etc...

I stayed friends with the ones that were more responsible and guess what...I stayed out of trouble and eventually opened up several business leading to where I'm at now.

If the friends I would have stayed around would have been the other half that continued doing drugs and going nowhere.... then I probably wouldn't be doing this today and just as unsuccessful as they are.

Just my outlook on life..
