Hey guys,
No matter how much everyone cries about no work & they can't make it on lower wages, the simple reality is these people PUT THEMSELVES into their situation thru poor financial management, spendthrifts, credit card junkies, living way beyond their means, & never gave a thought to each tomorrows' uncertainty. The signs were quite visible 5 yrs ago & only a few took heed. I hear the crying every day & I don't feel sorry for any of them at all. Sound cruel or harsh? It's not.... it's reality. It's because I grew up with parents who never squandered anything, lived on a strict budget, had a nestegg for unexpected occurrances, & taught us respect for money. Pap always said that money is simply a tool..... learn to use the tool the correct way & it works flawlessly. I've lived that method my entire career & it has never failed me thru layoffs, company downsizing/closings, & now that I am retired, I live a very comfortable life. I still work at my shop since my last company closed this past May & the work is steady & fruitful.
You may have to one day get out of bed for those wages whether you like it or not if you want/need to survive. Crappy isn't it? Remember.... you made your bed.... sleep in it.
