    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

            Lux - I think this is one of a few new posters for whom English is not their native language which is making their posts rather difficult to interpret.

              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.
