For some people, it's a way of life... taking a chance to gain riches will always be the shorter and far more rewarding route than a $12/hr job, 8hrs a day, 5 days a week, & no controls of the little vacations a person gets from the job. I would take a gamble too having wasted 20yrs of my life doing the right thing & paying my share of taxes but find myself going nowhere with this thing called prosperity.
