If you want something in your life, you need to take control of your life and go get what you want. But there is a difference between getting what you want through hard work, and asking for and expecting a handout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Late in 2013, fast-food workers went on strike because they want a raise. They want to go from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour. One news story interviewed someone who has worked as a cashier for a major chain and he said that his current wage cannot support his lifestyle. He knows how much money goes through the cash register each day and he knows they can afford a price hike.<\/span><\/p>\n Look – wanting more in your life is fine.
