My mother spent $30k going to school to be a pastor, and makes 15k a year for part time, she gives 1/2 of it back to the church, and complains she never has any money!
My father makes around $200k won't pay bills, or taxes, and guys comic books, dvd's and other stuff PILING the house full of crap, while letting the bill collecters take the "Late Fees" and buys electronics, when he feels like he has no money. he's almost gone to jail, and almost lot our house because of this)
My Brother in law bought a $20k truck he NEVER uses, has a job he HATES, which does not make hardly ANY money, and won't sell the truck, then complains he has no money.
My sister (his wife) works as a midwife, spends TONS of money on crap she does not need, and all her money goes to her "offices" she rents out, because she doesn't make 1/2 her clients pay! Then she cries about how she has no money, hates her family, and wishes she was with her ex.(from 15 years ago)
My friend Inheareted $26k from her dad's death, and spent 10k on a trip, and the rest to "save" a tooth which ended up getting pulled out, and upgrading to a UGLY car. SHe is trying to be a Nurse, and has spent all the money! SHe complains about being broke, and that her brother doesn't give his money to her mother who is loosing her house (but she didn't give one cent to her mother)
This lady at my mothers church has a baby with a illigal guy who can not work, and they will not get married, and make him legal, she lives in her mother's "extra" house they inheareted, they have "no money" and ask for charity instead of seling the house!!!
My cousin as not worked for YEARS (over 3) and takes over $1k per month in student loans! SHe wants to be a lawyer who makes no money, (doing something that does not pay at all) she was offered a temp. job to pay back her loans, but she will not do it! She complains about being broke, and yet keeps taking thousands out in loans!
WHY do ppl. enjoy being broke and complaining about it?
 
Hahaha - I know! I've watched stuff like this all my life. Those of us who really are poor live off of the junk that other people leave behind - and we live well too - used clothing - used furniture. It's amazing what I have NOT bought in my lifetime! I have used every cent to buy real estate, and I'm probably worth a good deal - but I always lived as if i was penniless - and I'm sure not complaining.
 
Actually it doesn't sound like any of these people enjoy being broke - they just ARE broke because they have no clue how to manage money or prioritize what's important in their lives.

But as far as complaining... they obviously enjoy that, almost everyone does. Half the stuff on Yahoo Answers is basically people complaining (no offense - but your question is a great example).

So just learn from what happened to them, and don't make the same mistakes they did.
