Default Are you a poor busy people?

1. Working hours more than nine hours a day, but do not see the future;
2. Not increasing the salaries within one year ;
3. Not enhance the position within three years;
4. Were paid very little, the monthly life is stressful;
5. Little savings, and can not purchase products;
6. More busy,more poorer, and more poorer,more stingy;
7. Retirement is no job security;
8. Always have endless things;
9. Revenue is not low, but there is no inner sense of security.

Please carefully compare the provisions above, if you have 3 or 3 above,you are already a poor busy people.

OK, is there a point you are trying to make?

First, there is nothing wrong with just settling into a job and a lifestyle. Our parents generation took a job and pretty much just expected to be doing their job for the rest of their lives and not this constant upgrading of more, more, more. And, for the most part they seemed pretty content and enjoyed life. However, they did have pensions and a sense of job security that we do not.

I have 2, 3, half of four (paid very little but I don't consider it stressful). I just avoided the label, woohoo!

4 and 9 are contradictory

Could have been a spammer that the mods got to first? They might have had a link that got removed. They also had a blog that is no longer there.

MainYY, are you setting us up for a passionate speech for communism or some sort of socialism? Perhaps you're a union representative wanting to stir up the trodden? You sound like someone that grew up in the USSR or eastern bloc...

Well, this aside, I'm not one of those that would belong to your list. I keep striving, learning and growing, and I don't wait around for the employer or wifey, or anyone to light a fire under me, to get off my arse and grow.

One must take the reigns of their future securely into their own hands...and yea, it's really rough out there these days.

Mainny has his/her own blog site (homepage linked through member info). These little lists and essays mainny posts on savingadvice.com are just re-posts of what mainny has posted there. The true point of that blog seems to be the selling of personal loans to people with bad credit.

I really do not like it when people come here and just repost junk they have written elsewhere. It feels like they are trying to exploit us here, as if they see us as just another pool of people to whom they can direct some advertisements. Blechtkt!

1. Working hours more than nine hours a day, but do not see the future
**snort** I am a mom. Yep, work more than nine hours a day. Future, yeah, they may not live to see the future (puberty has hit). Or, I may not live to see the future because my head will explod because it couldn't contain the steam caused by my children and their pubescent attitudes.

2. Not increasing the salaries within one year
I am a mom. I don't get paid. So yeah, I guess this one is a yes also.

3. Not enhance the position within three years.
Crap. I am screwed. Been a mom for more than three years. I am three for three. Crap...

4. Were paid very little, the monthly life is stressful
Ugh, here we go again. Yep, the pay sucks when your job title is "mom". And, oh my, the stresses... Ugh, I am four for four.

5. Little savings, and can not purchase products
Yeah, I would have savings if these dingdang children would stop eating me out of house and home. And, oh my, the growing! It has got to stop! Oh man, five for five...

6. More busy,more poorer, and more poorer,more stingy
Hmm... Busy and poorer and stingier... Yep, describes me. Trying to make the budget stretch with three boys. Ok, six for six... **big sigh**

7. Retirement is no job security
Yeah... I won't have a "job" in a little more than six years. So, I am seven for seven...

8. Always have endless things
Hmmm... Is this like to do? Because, yep, always have endless things to do. Eight for eight...

9. Revenue is not low, but there is no inner sense of security.
Revenue... I don't have any revenue. And, yeah, I have no inner sense of security. It was taken by my children. It went with my sanity... Well, **big sigh** I am nine for nine...


I am so screwed. Maybe a loan will fix this... Anyone willing to loan me their life for a few? Or, better yet, I will loan you three lovely children, gently used, of course.




I hope this put a bit of a smile on everyone's faces.

I am not a richer,but not a poor either. And I am interested in personal finance,so I have done a blog about personal finance.On the way,it is my interest,on the other way,I can learn English by writing articles(English is not my mother tongue). Of course,I did put some ad links on it.

Someone said I did spam here,yes,I want to promote my blog ,but,I did not put any my blog link in the post.

I did only think this post maybe would be useful.

I did not spam

Many of these things describe every person currently fighting to keep their job, feed their family, and just generally get by in this economy. An additional 20 people were let go from my company today who were working their butts off to stay afloat. Tact much?

Fortunately, I fulfill none of the criteria.... phew~

However, about 15 years ago, I was all of that AND MORE. I once fought street cats for trash food. So, there is hope for everyone as long as they change they approach and improve their skills.
