It's not about lifestyle, it's about eating and putting a roof over ones head. No wants to be a drug dealer, people turn drug dealer because they have no other opportunities.
- zo1 9y agoThe reason I said that is because the person I was responding to mentioned this: >"I don't know that I wouldn't sell drugs if my alternative was flipping burgers at McDonald's for $1000 a month." $1000 per month is at least livable and means that you're not starving or homeless. So making the choice of turning to crime to go above that is a lifestyle one.
- cultofmetatron 9y ago... where is $1000/month livable?? At that kind of wage, you can't save for the future nor can you afford anything nice.
