 people like this person that won't go far with a negative attitude. I have 
 come from a very humble background when there were times when I drank Lipton 
 ONION cup a soup because my mom and dad had nothing more in the house to 
 eat. I didn't have much  to begin with and I will be DAMNED if some little 
 comment of
 "If you have to ask you can't afford it" is going to break MY spirit! I will 
 ask and I will one day have it! I asked a question, I am new to the sport 
 and I was so proud to say I don't meet some of the folks like I have in the 
 show curcuits. It's infuriates me to hear you can't afford it simply because 
 you have never walked in my shoes or seen MY bank account.. and for the 
 record...I have yet to even start on my financial future I am only 28 and 
 well needless to say and I hate to brag I will retire when I am 35!How many 
 women can say this? Carla Lawson Hazelgreen Alabama

I don't think this was a negative comment.  You give the impression that you 
are positive and brag about your positive future but you come accross as 
being very defensive.  I have always associated negative and defensive as one 
and positive and offense as one.  You can't have one and the other or you 
will always be playing a game with yourself.  Lighten up, there are some 
great people in this sport that want to help.  We just like having a good 
time.
