daywane:
what kills me.
Talk radio. all I hear is Americans make to much money!!!!
I do well for my self but I would never say I make to much money.
on a good year, lots of overtime, I make forty thousand a year
most time thirty five thousand.
wife is a house wife.
(her health keeps her that way, PLUS I do like my wife a house wife. Less I have to do at home) ( she baby sits 1 baby and we only charge $40.00 a week) ( thats my grand baby ;D )
house paid off. Not a fancy house. Was a store at one time.
turned into 2 apartments.
I bought the set and made a house out of them
Paid forty six grand.
not in cash.
10 thousand down. 15 year pay off @ $350 a month.
paid it off in 10 years
now with the cost of living.
I could never have done this. I heat with wood
all cars are paid for.
never more than 2 insured at a time now.
( at one time I had 6 cars insured and a boat)
just plain old utility, food, etc takes it all.
I do not know how I would make it if I owed a bank or credit card

or not so good for you...
less mail can be handled by fewer employees...

sorry, you must have missed the fact that i am a postal employee. australia post will be about the last place to lay people off. and they probably havent since, well maybe never! obviously first they will freeze new recruitments. and then if things got really bad they would just not replace people who get injured (one of the more dangerous jobs to have apparently, we keep getting run over!)
i wont mention people quitting because i bet in really tough times, people suddenly dont seem to mind their job after all ;)

I'm in the military so no slow down here. But my part time arcade business has really slowed down. I am buying less from happ. I spoke to the happ rep this week Erica, she told me their sales are way down right now.

And these problems won't exist. It all depends on whether you want to suffer.

And here I was thinking that this latest incarnation of our old friend hadn't come up with anything really off-the-wall.
