[a foot race is setup in a stadium, in which a confused green character has to start 100m away from the finish line, while a smug orange character starts 10m away from the finish line]

[orange easily finishes first, and smugly proclaims] Another easy win! I am better than everyone!

[green, on all fours, visibly tired and sweating] Well that was unfair…

[orange, covered in medals and holding a trophy, points at green angrily and scolds them] Get a grip What a sore loser You just hate success!

[yellow watches the race on TV, and rants about it from their sofa] If green wanted to win, he should have worked harder Some people are just allergic to effort Entitled… (?) (?)… millenials Always looking for excuses People need to be taught discipline Immigr… (?) Typical green behavior Should seize opportunities Bootstraps Quitter behavior Green people want to be poor

"- I hate the fact that my landlord gets half the money I make without doing anything to earn it!

-If you think it's so easy why don't you buy yourself a flat and rent it?"

Because to buy one I'd need a mortgage and no bank is going to give me one because I didn't have the chance to build up a good credit rating.

You're paying 800 a month, so you cant afford to build up enough savings to get a mortgage to convince the bank you can afford 500 a month.
