If you don't mind my saying so but that's a stretch.

If someone needs overtime to make the ends meet then it's almost like saying "get another job."

Trimming down in such a way may get the leaking radiator replaced in the car next month

In the mean time you have 3 kids with no TV and need to buy (expenses say 25 bux) an...... antenna?
Cut the internet off.
Not cool the house as much or not at all for a month.
Cut back on the food buying just a bit.

So far I would guess that's about 175 bucks and thats being optimistic and trying to "plan" for a 298 dollar radiator. Oh and that just covers the radiator not the labor.

If that were not bad enough ..... POOF!!! now you need to replace the 168 dollar water heater.

What usually happens is people will "forgo" the credit card payment, utility bill (internet,phone,etc) or mortgage and play the game known as "Catchup". It's not all that hard to end up in big trouble real fast.

It's called living on the edge because the ability to "cope" with an unexpected problem requires the entire family to reduce the "quality of living" for an extended period of time. In most cases it is a never ending spiral that if an injection of money does not come right now then it will have to wait till April and a tax "return". If I am not mistaken most married couples with children (atleast in the past) did not get all that much in return. That is why the tax laws were changed.

You and a few of your looser buddies must have run low on chips then went back and found one. Good, you are back in the game and I really love kicking Nazi ass. As far as the other member "on my side", He has remaind fairly neutral and his comment HAS contributed to this thread until now.
So When you have Swiss, make swiss cheese, thing is he is just learning to goose step the way you do so keep teaching him, he aint quite there yet. I'll have my time with him when I get around to it, who knows he may enjoy it. One thing is for sure I certianly will when I'm damn good and ready to.

So punk off and join poor BigBoysToys, you trolls are an annoyance but I really love messing with your massive egos.

Now sing for a song for me sweetstuff. I already know the tune.

Is your ego so large that you can't see past yourself? If this many people are telling you to shut your stupid, arrogant, ignorant, self rightous, egotistical, lazy ass, maybe, JUST MAYBE that outta tell you something. Something like NOBODY AGREES WITH YOU. No one thinks you're right, that you're any smarter or any more clever than us, or in any way enlightened.

The only minds you've changed with your posts are the ones of people who were giving you the benefit of the doubt. You're running out of people to alienate. Didn't you say earlier that you know who your friends are? Obviously, they're not on the forum, cause in 4 pages the only person who was on your side who you didn't turn against you was the ever so reputable G-Nasty.

You love kicking Nazi ass huh? Thats amusing. If you want to come over here and have a go at my Welsh-Italian ass, by all means. At this point, I'd actually enjoy forcing you to shut up, and I'm not a violent person, I'm very laid back.

Every time I read this thread I become even more incredulous. You've come to the point where you're saying everyone who disagrees with you, which so far seems to be EVERYONE (but G-Nasty), is a Nazi. And you accuse us of having large egos.

So again, STFU. If you want a song, go back to page 3, I posted it there just for you.

Ya know
I asked a "god" so to speak to do me a favor. I didn't get a reply but I believe you will get the message. I surly did and it was worth my time and effort.

Thanks God.

PS
I know some will really fear this but Negatives to ALL those trolls that got this thread here, you lost "the game".

Pluses for all the rest you deserve the rewards. Thanks so much for the contribution, just don't forget to "vote"

You are the reason this forum is so great.

The thing is ditch, 42K IS the median income for a family household in the United States. So by calling the "average" middle class income a "low income" you are essentially saying that the expected outcome of the typical US family is bleak. Which if I am not mistaken is what this WHOLE thread is really about. The degradation of America and there's proof of it right there in yours and my post. In the 1970's (just as a reference, it was better in the 60's I think) the average family household had one bread winner, and that bread winner could support the entire family and still have approximately 46% of his pay left to save or spend. Today the average family sends two people to work and when the bills are paid that family has only 25% of its income to save or spend. Not all families have two breadwinners and have to survive on one salary which is VERY difficult. Of course I could cut the cable and drive a beater and not take my girl out for dinner ever, but that isn't the point. The point is the slowly degrading society in which we live in, and the corporations, banks, and government taking more and more from the people. All of this combined with what our current administration is doing to our civil liberties makes this country a lesser place, when we should all be trying to make it a better place.

I can understand your point. I know it's not the kind of money anyone wants to raise a family on. Things might not be the greatest for everyone, but there are opportunities out there and they can be had. Thanks for the information.

It's obvious why I jumped into this thread in the first place....my disagreement with how Bill handles being out of work and his overall attitude.

By the way Bill, I (The Nazi ), want to thank you for the negative (I'm sure I already had one from you before this). I checked my ratings and don't have one for you. I don't intend on giving you one either. You're much too fun for me to give a negative rating to.
