You got your bail out when you bought your house at a good price and all the spending the government is doing to keep you employed.

Making/saving money is all about luck. 

You're lucky to have a job, you were lucky to buy a house at a good time.

That is the most ridiculous nonsense I have ever heard and a complete abdication of personal responsibility.

I have the job that I do because I made that happen.

I bought my house and didn't end up underwater with my mortgage because I did the math.

I totally understand that the economy has had adverse effects and put people in unfortunate circumstances that they did not forsee and could not avoid, but that definitely doesn't mean that people who have been responsible and prepared and work hard are just lucky.

Amen.  I studied ---my bottom--- off to get a good job that I work VERY hard at.  When the bank offered us a $1,000,000 loan when we were house shopping we bought a house for less than 1/2 that amount.  I've got no debt because I don't buy things I can't afford.  I know my limits and I am prepared for the future in case I do lose my job.  There's really no luck involved.

Until you find yourself in a horrible accident,
or get some debilitating disease.
There's luck in everything.
Even the super rich can only buy so many organs
before they have to take the dirt nap.

Well, yeah but that has nothing to do with the economy and how it is affecting me.
