Comfort and Material Wealth

So my fortune cookie said I will have comfort and material wealth in my old age. To which I took “comfort” in the fact that I must not have reached old age since I’m neither comfortabe or materially wealthy.

… Or am I?

Here I am sitting in the break room of my deadend job watching a bad bootleg of Wanted. Living paycheck to paycheck … Rent is due, phone bill is due, loan, credit card, the list goes on. Next week it will be Comcast and another credit card … Then JEA … Then another credit card … Then the cycle loops again … So much for comfort … LOL

However, if things are that bad then how is it I’m able to sit here and tap this blog out on my new Apple iPhone 3G? How can I afford the big screen tv sitting in my living room along side my 700+ cd collection and my wall of DVDs? By some measure I guess one would say I’m living comfortably and displaying signs of some kind of material wealth … though I’m always broke.

… or maybe the truth is I’m living beyond my means?
