Then move to a location with good internet?

The internet isn't a right. Cable TV isn't a right. I feel like I'm repeating myself lately, but why is there so much entitlement lately?

If you want better, do better. If you want nice things, bust your ass. If your town doesn't have what you want, move. Don't tell me it cant be done. I was laid off twice in 2 years, my credit and savings wiped out from underneath me. With a wife and 2 kids... being the sole provider. I could have settled and got a local job that paid nothing and complained about being poor, but I didnt. I scraped what little I had and I moved myself and my family to a place that offered the opportunities I needed.

I had to live in Oklahoma along the way, until i could find a better job, but i did, and it sucked, but i did it until I found a job and a place to live and now im writing this in a nice apartment with gigabit internet.

I was literally down to $1200 and no place to live... anyone can save up $1200... stop expecting people to make life easy for you. Men used to be men, and handled stuff... now men sit on their ass and wait for life to get easy...
