34 years in a row I have made as much money as I deserved!

When I didnโ€™t do what was expected, I made lessโ€ฆ but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed others, I made lessโ€ฆ but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed my socio-economic origins, I got lessโ€ฆ but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed by lack of education, I got lessโ€ฆ but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed my boss for lack of opportunity, I got less... but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed my debt, I got less... but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed government policy, I got less... but I got what I deserved.

When I blamed who was in office, I got lessโ€ฆ but I got what I deserved.

During the times when I didnโ€™t make much moneyโ€ฆ ๐ˆ ๐ ๐จ๐ญ ๐„๐—๐€๐‚๐“๐‹๐˜ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ž๐!
