It's a bit like the guys that buy new games consoles on launch day then smash them up in front of the people that have stood queueing for ages but can't get one cos they have sold out.

“Can’t afford” is something you can control. Get a job or two, or three if you have to, and work hard. Most of our problems in life are something we can control by making smart choices. Trouble is most people now are too lazy and choose to sit on their ass and complain that they have nothing instead of going and doing something about it. I’m not saying you’re that way, I don’t know you. But I’m saying don’t follow in the footsteps of people that complain they have nothing. Instead follow the footsteps of those that realize their life is in their control and nobody else is going to look out for them so they take charge and do what they have to do, to get what they want. Best of luck to you, work hard and make clean money and have lots of fun.
