Maybe I am just sensitive today, maybe I am seeing it as it is, but I am getting a few comments that seem rude and shows signs of being jealous. I work hard for my money, life has never been easy so before you make fun of how I make money or say I am raking it in you need to walk a month in my life, see how I earn my money and how it gets spent, who pays for that new kitchen floor? who pays the property taxes? The list goes on and on. Maybe you should go OUT and work. End of Rant.

It is a trend even I noticed. Not so much on myLot as on YouTube. People are so bad! Especially Indians.

Well I am jealous of you. It is over 10 degrees warmer where you are than what I have. Try not to let it get too you. Many people get mad when they are not handed everything in life. You have earned what you have, enjoy it.

@andriaperry I even understand the land lady stuff as Mom and Dad kept a rental until last spring. I am very glad Mom got Dad to agree to sell it before she passed. It took a lot of stress off of her worrying about it and that meant she enjoyed her last couple of months a little more. Even with knowing Dads time was coming. They never truly made money with it by the time they did repairs. They were even losing money the last few years as Dad could not do the repairs himself like he used too.

@wolfgirl569 This is one reason I am selling a few , as for sale by owner, that way they keep it up and I give someone with no credit to own a home, but I have to find another way to make money, that is one reason for Sunshine`s, I got one that will pay hers off in 6 more months, I need to try and make up that income when she does.

Is that people here, or people in real life? You seem to be one of the hardest working people I know. I would love to have the drive you have. Do I want your life? No, but I count on you as a resource to learn new stuff and for inspiration. Don't let people get you down cause they do not understand. That was part of the issue in my last job.

@andriaperry I looked at your previous discussion. I think the problem is that most of the world believes that we, in America, are rich and have it easy. It is a cultural thing. That is, if the response I saw was the one you meant. Chances are the same person has said that on other discussions of yours as well. It is frustrating because you do work hard.

Jealousy, or maybe people who think that anyone who learned to work (instead of waiting to win the lottery or mooching off mom and dad) are stinking rich. Well, anyone who knows the value (and I don't mean that monetarily) or work knows otherwise. Just consider the source.

For some reason people think since I am a landlady that I got the houses free and that I never spend a dime fixing them and only receive money. Now I am getting it because I opened the online store and make stuff I use and sell, well that ain`t free either. Still I cannot understand people who do not work!

I have seen a few rude comments out there lately. I thin if you cannot say something nice or neutral just don't say it at all. Comments should never be made rudely to others, some do work hard for their money and should be congratulated. I think it should be admired.

When we were younger, we had a rental property in the Beaches area in Toronto. After a few years, we sold it as it was so much time consuming and we had full time jobs. We also got tired of some of the renters that kept disturbing us late at night.

Oh that's too bad. It's true jealous is a green eyed monster for sure. I think people don't realize that because person "A" has $ or resources - doesn't effect their ability to have $ or resources. I cant figure it out either. I have had this issue and it always confuses me. I don't make a lot of money. I rent a small apartment. I don't have a boyfriend, I have a nice , but older car, and my clothes / look - well I have style and taste, though I budget carefully to be able to buy such things. Things I'm into (dance, band, painting, etc) are all things others can do too if they take time and effort..... I don't get it.

Don't always react in front of the person who hurts you or make fun of you. This is happening just because they are jealous of you. You do your work which satisfy you. Don't bother what other's think. Be positive on your work darling.

Aw...sorry...I am not jealous. I am quite content in my world...I hope nobody disturbs the present status..that is how I am. I know how hard it is to be landlady. While it is not as hard as it is at your end, there are other issues that I must constantly be on my toes for. You forgot sewer, power, water, roof leakage, and at your end insurances and insulation.

people are always jealous of the pretty ones. all haters know to do is hate. more people should have a landlord like you, someone who will take care of a problem s.a.p. ! ignore them, they just want to get you riled up. they are more into group think than individualism.

@andriaperry - thats when you just tell them you forgot a hammer or something and will be back in 20 minutes. i wish my grandmothers landlord would see it like you do. shes more into avoiding the situation by not answering calls and putting a tarp over leaky roofs as a fix, until it rains again, then repeat the process next year.

I do thank you for the compliment but I am not the pretty one. I do take my job seriously, if a problem is not fixed it ruined the house I put MY hard earned money into. I do usually ignore them, I got caught by surprise at 5 am when I was "working" the second job of caregiver, he had a bad night.

I know I might be off-topic. Yes, jealousy is ugly. That is why I never thought to cover my husbands’ eyes when it came to other women. So he ended up falling for the therapist I chose for him :D. And this is such a bitter laughter... Never thought I’d end up living in such a bad movie.

@andriaperry no, I was not jealous at all. I had all the trust in the world in him :). Life ran him into another woman’s arms. Responsabilities. Our sadnesses together being too much to bare probably. Don’t know :). Don’t know if it’s my job to explain what happened to him. Tho’ understanding things usually helps...
