[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 977296, member: 23516"] I'm in the group that wants financial security. If I can get it as a FedEx mid-ranger, then I'll get it that way. If not, I'll get it another way. Maybe it'll come from adjusting my expenditures, or maybe from increasing my income. Maybe both. I know 2 couriers who have been with Express for around 15 years. Neither of their spouses work and they have 5 or 6 kids between them. One has no debt, and that includes no mortgage, and is about to send a kid to college. The other has 2 kids in college and little debt it any besides his mortgage. One of them does lots of traveling. Plenty of other people who make the same pay complain that they're barely scraping by, and that's with fewer kids and a working spouse. I'm not saying that Express hourly pay is generous, but when those folks are living well on it, well, it bolsters the idea that one's financial health is a behavioral issue moreso than a mathematical issue.
