Arguments for making extra tens of thousands central to your life:
Until a loved one calls from a jail, needing 5K to be bailed out right now.
---Dude should have thought of that before he did the crime, and his parents have more money than me.
Until you're in a car accident, and require extensive care and rehab.
---In EU, Gubmint pays for that
Until you get really sick, and need six figures to pay for your drugs.
---In EU/Civilized world; Gubmint pays. Or I die. Big deal. But I can't live in fear and stay in the POD for ten more years because this might happen. Reference Hemingway and Hunter Thompson-- when they started losing their shit they just checked out.
Until you catch a case, and need to come up with 50 large.
---I don't commit crimes. So I don't live in fear.
Then you'll learn that the greatest enslavement is poverty.
---And you may learn when you get older like me that the only poverty you can never get out of is being out of time.
Must be nice to live in a world where nothing goes wrong.
In my world, sh*t happens every now and then.

You never commit crimes?
You don't speed?
Jaywalk?
Always wear your seatbelt?
Never talk on the phone while driving?
Never ever take a piss in public?
Never ever in a car with someone with a gun? Drugs? Open container?
Never hang out with someone smoking a joint?
Never in a house with drug paraphernalia?
Never drink a beer on the street?
On the beach?
Glass container on the boardwalk?
Take a drag of a cigarette within 15 feet of a building?
Clean after your dog every single time?
Drop a piece of paper on the ground?
Ever?
If so, your good.
If not, don't come to the California Police State.
We are all criminals here.
