[QUOTE="klein, post: 709456, member: 23950"] I totally agree with you. It's a shame, having people work for $30/hr, and still need OT to get by. Something is wrong there. There are many that work for far less, have more time off, and still live a happy life. To have a motorhome sitting outfront, that only gets used once per year, is stupidity, paying it off, is just plain crazy. All these small and bigger toys being bought on credit, that these same people barely use, but pay for in monthly payments. A lot of people need to learn to get by, with what we earn, and actually save for that rainy day, shall it arrive one day. I find having just 1 carpayment a month is 1 too many. But, a lot of familes/couples have 2 car payments. Not neccesary at all, imo. I get a kick out of it, when some articles read, north americans are getting fatter, because junkfood is cheaper then healthy food. Last time I checked, hamburger meat at a grocery store is less then a dollar per pound. You can feed a whole family burgers with it. Yet at Mac D's, it will come to atleast 10 fold the price. 1 pototo is less then 10 cents (portion of fries). Again, 10-20 fold at rotten ronnies. We can all live cheaper, and within our means. And, trust me, I don't consider eating out a luxery. Home cooking and BBQing, beats most restaurant food. Like the above poster mentioned, evaluate your needs. Make cutbacks. And once you get 40+ hrs back.... save for early retirement. Set a goal, such as age 55 to retire on. Who cares about those toys, motorhomes, etc... that will eventually rott in your neighbors yard. You'll have it all, when you have more time and health to enjoy it all, year round, and at earlier age. Legal retiremnet is now 67 years of age. Way too late... [/QUOTE]
