<p> I've been desperately trying to get the punks to realize that being rich is not a bad thing. It all comes from the John Bender breakfast club mentality... if you're more poor, then you're cooler.. most of the gutterpunk wannabes are just as spoiled as any other college kid. It's not cool to be a bum drinkin' 40oz that somebody else put out cigarette butts in.. but don't tell that to some of the crusty punks. I thought poor derelicts pretending to be rich with their cellphones was bad, but…</p>

<p>being a commie is not cool</p>
<p>being a drunk that lives on welfare is not cool</p>
<p>being a dope addict squatter is not cool</p>

<p>Yeah, gettin' everything handed to you by mommy and daddy is pretty lame.. no doubt.. but having money is fuckin' awesome. I was punk since the old loft days back when I was 15.. spent my time on the streets, which sucked horribly. It's nothing to glorify. I love having my own screen printing operation, my own house, my own car, a big back yard with a horseshoe pit, my DIY grill, and a place for the dogs to run around..not to mention an entire separate fridge just for my beer (expensive good beer too). Hard work makes the beer taste better. </p>

<p>If anybody ever questions my wealth I tell them that it is merely a side-affect of being a champion of your own destiny, someone who's vision and intellect precludes him from living a degenerate life of poverty. I worked, moved up in life, *shrugs* fuck the peasants. I'll kick 'em out of my house if they start up on that pseudo poor kid horseshit. Seriously, nobody wants to hear how poor you are. </p>

<p>Honestly, since when is having nice things an insult? Why even bother paying any mind when a person says so?</p>
<p>I come from a lower class background and have been working my way through school not only to gain an education but to provide a better means of living for myself. Having a roof to be under, amenities and the things you desire is a privilege many people seek after.

Having a roof to be under, amenities and the things you desire is a privilege many people seek after. I want to be able to get the 59 Edsel I've been drooling over and have a day where I can pay the bills with something actually left over. Personally, I take no heed to any comments like that. What I'm doing, and I'm sure many others are, isn't about being punk or not but enhancing individual wellbeing and livelihood.</p> It depends on the individuals…tag:www.mohawksrock.com,2011-12-05:1501994:Comment:7035782011-12-05T04:37:25.670ZPatcheshttps://www.mohawksrock.com/profile/PatrickPatchesM

<p>If I'm given the chance to stay home, save money for school and not have to pay rent, then fuck yeah. Living on the streets blows hard, fun at times and responsibility free is awesome. But I'd rather have home cooked foods then eating out of a garbage bin any time. I'd rather see the house cat die then friends ODing on drugs, a bed rather then a dingy alley... And getting lice sucks!</p>

I have a leather Jack and bondage pants, but I'm no where near rich "mommy and daddy" put me on my ass at sixteen and I fell into fucking killing myself doing construction. Everything I have I worked my ass off to get.
