FAST MONEY VS. A REAL JOB

5/30/2014

Last week I met a young man, 15 years old, who told me that it was better to make "fast money" than to work at a regular job. He decided that it was better to make money this way because you could buy things like a house and a fast car without having to pay taxes or show anything on paper. I didn't say anything.
The talking piece came around to this young man's Counselor and he said, "Yes, you may have those things for about five years. Then you will lose them because
you have no paper. And then you get new paper in the form of a sentence." I found that no more words were necessary.
