(11,177 posts)They will live their lives trying to stay honest, work themselves to death, and along the way make their families suffer miserably because they are so tight with their money, and will never be there to go to the soccer games, the class plays and the recitals. What was that song by Cat Stevens, that follows along this line of thinking? "Cat's in the Cradle." Send a Youtube clip of that song to your wanna-bee friends. Hey, they just might think about it. If they are really hard-core-gone wanna-bees, yeah. All you can do is just sit back and watch them self-destruct, because they will start hating you if you keep nagging at them. And I'm not even going to start on what's going to happen to their marriages. Think Annette Benning and Kevin Spacey in the classic "American Beauty."
Sorry for my rant, but I so wish there was a way to reach those kinds of people.
