when i used to work as an emt my coworkers were all living paycheck to paycheck and often had money troubles, since the pay is barely above minimum wage. i had no such pressures since i was living with my parents who paid for my food and housing so i could save most of what i made for school.  i remember when any of my coworkers complained about money i'd just look at them and say with sincerity > i don't get it, if you need more money why don't you just take it out of your trust fund? it would always piss the hell out of them.
