I've got all the money I'll ever need; if I die by four o'clock.
–Henry Youngman
When you've lived your entire life as a part of the 99%, sometimes it's easy to get blinded by the disadvantages and begin to resent everyone else for the situation you're in. But sometimes it's easier to take those same sentiments and laugh at how ridiculous they are.
I've spent my entire life struggling, whether they were First World Problems or legitimate shitty issues, but at the end of the day, I could always just laugh it over-because why bother letting life get you down? Stick it to the Man and realize what great sitcoms were made of: the issues of the 99%. The everyday, real-world problems we complain about in grocery lines to make new friends, or the silly stories we complain about to coworkers and friends just to get the load off and smile, or the things that make us, well, human.
Part of the appeal of the 99% is we are great in numbers and we are not alone.
So say whatever to your problems and take a breather to chuckle.
As they say, builds character, my friend.

THE THINGS YOU DO FOR MONEY...
Let's start with the obvious: You are poor as hell, my friend.
The top 1% own about 40 % of the nation's wealth in the United States while you barely have 40 cents of a dollar in your pocket. But that's capitalism for you. While the One-Percenters go off bathing in the tears of orphaned children and sprinkling flakes of gold onto their ice cream sundaes or whatever it is that rich people are doing, you have to come to terms with selling your soul to pay your taxes.
If you're working hard for pennies, chances are these
signs are gonna hit a little too close to home.
THE THINGS YOU DO FOR MONEY…
The fact of the matter is you and money are not on good terms. There are rags-to-riches stories and then There's you, buddy. You've had more than enough heartbreak from bogus lottery tickets and rigged slot machines to keep you jaded when watching feel-good family blockbusters about people having their dreams come true. Are you actually getting mad at a nine-year-old protagonist for having a successful dog-themed business plan? Really?
But man, if you did win, wouldn't it be nice to finally leave that shitty job of yours? And pay off all your debts? And become free at last? You know, be a human being or something.
THE THINGS YOU DO FOR MONEY…
If you've ever had to work in customer service, chances are you've lost your faith in humanity long,
