      Ha! Jokes on you! I’m poor because I have to spend 1900 euros per month on rent alone so there’s nothing to rob me of. You can’t even rob me of my dignity anymore.

      Jokes aside, I’m aware of the major issues Mexico has. I’ve never been there but I would love to visit as it’s a beautiful country. But I’m too chicken to go due to the high crime rate etc. And tickets are too expensive, I wasn’t joking about having no money because my decent salary is being sucked up completely by rent, taxes, bills, insurances and food.

      But I’m glad Mexico has elected a leader I could only dream of. I hope she can make a change towards better. Or at least, I hope she is what she looks like. I mean, is she really good or only looks like that (like the president of India). At least she looks like Merkel + + +

        Bro spends in a month more than a local spends in a year and then says he is poor, thinking he has nothing to lose because he lost his “dignity” lmao

        Here getting robbed is getting murdered. I suppose you may be entitled to say you have nothing to lose after that

          I need to spend that much for basics, like food and a roof over my head. I’m basically a slave, I need to work most of my life without being able to build up anything. No saving, buying a house, etc.

          But I’m aware I live in one of the wealthiest countries, where I do not have to fear anything no matter where I go. I’m aware I’m extremely lucky to have been born here. I’ve seen how life can be different, when I went on deployment to the Middle East and Africa. I’ve been to horrible places and have seen horrible things.

          But life here is extremely expensive. We make more money, but in the end we have nothing left after we payed all the bills to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I don’t have much to lose, as I’m depressed AF, alone as my wife left me, stuck with PTSD from when I was in the military, unable to enjoy life anymore somehow. So a holiday in Mexico where I snort loads of cocain with a bunch of hookers before I get robbed and killed doesn’t sound so bad really.
