Hub Running a Sort on Memorial Day

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Ahhhhhh, the old guard. Get with the times Gramps. Your daughter's community college tuition was probably about $100 a year when you paid for it back in the late 70s. Times have changed and the income-to-tuition ratio hasn't remained the same.

Sounds like a bunch of excuses.
I pay cash for everything.
Debt is for suckas and stupid people.
Times haven't changed....the level of Financial Ignorance has

Not everyone wants to work into their 60s and depend on a pension check they have no control over.

Anyways, if it's all about maximizing time off, you should be working the holiday at double time then taking two days off.

You younger guys should worry about social security too. System starts going broke by 2034 if nothing is done. Add to that millions of illegal's that will add little but potentially drain much.

Actually it was the late 90's and my daughter graduated from the U of Wisconsin- Madison. She had very little debt at grad time because she got a job as night manager at the University owned hotel where all the visiting speakers and professors stayed. Free room and board and was allowed to work on school work and use their computer equipment when it wasn't busy. The place was closed on weekends so she had every weekend off and access to the hotels Olympic sized swimming pool. It was located on Campus one block off of State Street (party central for the U kids). We used to visit her at least once a month - just like a mini vacation. My daughter was (is) a very down to earth kid who wasn't afraid to make her own way-- unlike most of todays youth who just take it for granite that dear old mom and dad are going to pay for EVERYTHING.

Anyone who doesn't take memorial day off of work and buy a new mattress on sale, basically hates our troops and America. Land of the free and home of the quilted plush cooling gel memory foam.

I think you are thinking of President's Day? Still, I feel what you are saying.

Actually illegals pay millions into social security but are ineligible to collect.

Hartford is running a sort Monday. Seems North Atlantic and Northeast are the ones with all the fun...

I would work Memorial Day if they offered, it’s double time for holidays (at least in my local). However, with the business heavy routes we have here it wouldn’t make sense. Probably just be delivering Amazon crap to people who aren’t home, which would sit on their porch all weekend waiting to be snatched by porch pirates.

Must be nice, congrats.

Poorly managed pension funds soon to be bled dry by an avalanche of baby boomer retirements at the same time that automation drastically cuts new contributions to the Ponzi scheme....

I'll take my double time.

And boomers leeching off the pension for 30+ years which was never the intent.

...and what would you suggest the "boomers" do?...work until they are 65 and then die?

Oh wait....

that would leave more for you.

Lots of problems added to pension issues. Stupid government regulations saying that the plans can't be over funded. So what do many plans do, they raised the payout instead of issuing a 13th payment. People are living longer and many companies that used to be part of the plan are no longer in business but they still have people collecting off of the plans. Then throw in 911 and the market crash of 2009 ....
