My dreams about being rich and well-liked haven't come true though.

I have an actual addiction to fried food, especially fried chicken and chicken fried steak. What sucks is I also own a deep fryer and know how to use. It would be like if an alcoholic owned their own private distillery.

I actually cannot eat KFC and Church's anymore because their chicken is shit.

Why is that any business of yours? Why would I disclose that here. All money will lead you to is pain. People will beg and plead for you to give them something. You will lose your family having money unless they have as much as you. Your friends? They will expect because they are your friends that you will give them money because they know you and will stop associating with you because they don't have it and want it. You want to be constantly asked for loans? Eventually you have to leave them be and go find new friends and those friends will be even more greedy than the old ones, but will be far more clever in trying to get money out of you. Women? They will only like you as long as you keep letting them in your wallet, none of them will ever actually love you. You can't buy love. You can buy sex, that is easy. But you can't buy love. Possessions? They will get old fast. You will be a lonely person sitting in your house all say with a bunch of possessions like syntax posting on an anonymous board because you actually have no real friends.

I know but it would erase worrying about bills, which would increase happiness.

The connections and a good name are probably worth 100 times as much as the loan. A name that opens doors and gets investment bankers and loan officers to take you seriously.

Having a little extra money is nice, don't get me wrong. Having a lot will only bring you more misery because you will be free to explore your depression with it.

Agree connections totally important. Also about banks and loan officers. They have a spread sheet in front of them. They have a range of interest percentages they can offer (limited to their bank title) If they feel good/great about You in person they have wiggle room to cut you a more better rate on the loan - And if you impress them enough in person they can even bring over their supervisor who has even more wiggle room -
Nor does this HAVE to be limited to Business situations - Never will forget the time just after I had asked for my divorce - Couple of months later while setting up the how2's on how I was going to survive the onslaught of weekly court battles against Gloria Allred. So I decide to sever all my old accounts and go to bank in a depressed mood
Just fucking pure luck the Manager who I have never even met before (New branch) she comes over and says Can I help you- Me? I need a new account - She says but you appear to be one of our customers - I tell her about need to sever accounts re divorce - SHE Shocks me by saying - Hey as a woman I have been there and I can help you. Damn and she sure did - Better credit card at cheep interest rate - Quick loan really cheep - She even showed me her spread sheet limits and made a phone call to get me the better rate from her supervisor at headquarters
Takes money to make money and it sure takes connections - Later I decided to open a large business account with that manager for the company I became an executive with - Made her day, and all because she sure made my day/month/years/

Smaller male cuttlefish will impersonate females to steal mates from larger males.
Tiger Shark embryos will eat all their siblings, before even leaving the womb. Afterwards, they eat their mother's eggs, until they are born.
Hippos are responsible for more human fatalities than any other large animal.
There is a S.American species of newt, who's venom kills its predators after being eaten. At which point, the newt will simply walk out of the mouth of its predator.

How would this work? The fryer is on the countertop which is higher than my penis. I'd have to like, climb up onto the counter and it would be really awkward.
@684,390 (Nexi !FMXTRANsAM)
Yeah, I'm not talking about like Powerball millions dumped in my lap suddenly. I just want enough money not to worry about anything.

That was nice of you to pay her back for the favor!

It's a proven fact that penis burns are the number one injury associated with deep fat fryers, none of those people thought that it was plausible for them to fry their penis either. I only eat a raw vegan diet so I can avoid this kind of shit; I'm not a fool.
