""I didn't think this would happen to me. It's just something that I don't think that people think is going to happen to them is what it amounts to. It happens very quickly, too.""So true. She thinks its hard now? Imagine the people coming into Ellis island, with basically all their possesions hoping for a better life here. Thats tough. Not some screw up who made bad life decisions and wants to use their pity card.
that says it all; she didnt "think about it", here is the result.
Savings account?
What a fucking reatard.
You're 19, you know nothing about life. STFU. ::)
Well Shes 65 and doesn´t have a fucking clue.Learn from shit like this. Be smart with your money. In america you can be whatever you want.
In america you can be whatever you want.
Not anymore. Those days are long gone.bullshit.
When I first moved to Hawaii there was a homeless lady who hung out near the zoo in Kapiolani Park. She had a grocery basket full with clothes and trash. I always thought that if you were going to be homeless, Hawaii would be the best place. Obviously other cities around the country thought so too. What cities like Chicago did was they wrangled up some homeless people and gave them a one way ticket to Hawaii. This was there way of getting rid of the homeless in their cities. I found that to be a great idea. I can't remember what happened but I know our mayor or was a feisty old dude (Mayor Fasi) did something like ship them back. Anyway, that old lady died in the early 90's and when they checked her basket she had over $600,000 in uncashed checks to her from some kind of inheritance she had. She just like being homeless. And in Hawaii it is called being "houseless" cause Hawaii is our home.
First, the woman needs to move to a more affordable community.
we're giving $12,000,000,000 per month to iraq.
Yes, we're borrowing twelve billion per month - from China using our roads as collateral - to pay for Iraq's reconstruction. By the way, Iraq had a $30 billion surplus last year - they can't find ways to spend their $, it just sits there.
twelve billion every month. Please don't bitch when you 401k devalues, or social security funding isn't there when you reach 65. Bush borrowed $5 trillion dollars in 7 years, more than all other presidents combined.
Oh, and mcCain says he isn't going to change it. Ta-ta!
67 AND NO 401K, IRA, OR ROTH ACCTS????????????????
YEAH, I FEEL REALLY SORRY FOR SOME DUMB BITCH THAT CRIES TO CNN ABOUT BEING LAID
OFF AT 67 AND NOT HAVING ANY MONEY
AT HER AGE, SHE SHOULD BE SET UP REGARDLESS
Exactly. With an $8/hr job plus social security she could easily find an inexpensive apartment in many communities. ::)
She "liked being homeless"...you aren't really that stupid are you keith? a large percentage of homeless people have mental problems that prevents them from making rational decisions. she liked being homeless? wow.
A part-time job making $8.00 per hour isn't shit. That's enough money for gas for the week.
Actually...
As I spent time in the trailer park, both living then later owning properties -
I've seen people get out of rehab, jail, divorce, whatever, and turn things around. You can get an efficiency - 1 BR with a bed and tv and bathroom - for $150 a week around here with no problem, and $100 a week if you don't mind bugs.
You go to Labor pool, AbleBody, ManPower, whatever your local day labor place is. You make $10 an hour, you might be digging ditches, you might be getting walmart shopping carts, who knows. But you can make $80 per day. That's $400 per week you can earn, just working 5 days and no nights or weekends. Spend 100 on rent, and 100 on bus/food, and you put away $200 per wk.
Go down to your local community college on your first day off. Sign up. You'll get grants and loans out the ass. They'll pay for all your classes and you'll have a few grand left over per semester to get yourself a better place to stay, better car, better everything.
I was 18 and dead broke living in the trailer park, playing basketball every day, no plan for college, no car, no job, etc. No one in my family on either side has ever finished college, and only a few ever walked the high school stage. I got a job at the grocery store (walked 2 miles to work in FL heat until I could afford a bike, rode till I could afford a shitty car with no A/C). I got a car, applied at college, got loans, got books, kept working. Today I'm an MBA with a teaching degree and multiple computer certifications, I work 5 hours a day from home in my PJs while playing with my son, and I play in a band at night for fun. I do what I want in life now, because I worked so hard as a youth. My brother and sister are still poor, wallowing in the same mess I came from.
You CAN get ahead in America, you just have to bust your ass and not be stupid with your $.
However, we are taking about a 67 year old woman. Not too many companies will hire her.
So true. She thinks its hard now? Imagine the people coming into Ellis island, with basically all their possesions hoping for a better life here. Thats tough. Not some screw up who made bad life decisions and wants to use their pity card.I agree with the basic idea on this post.

You're right.
However, we are taking about a 67 year old woman. She will have a hard time finding a job.
Maybe not a salaried position in "corporate america", but retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and a dozen other "service industry" type employers would hire her.
Learn from shit like this. Be smart with your money. In america you can be whatever you want.

Well genius, she raised three kids and may have had to live paycheck to paycheck like alot of Americans do.
true. there is a small % of Americans that enjoy elderly porn. She should look into it.
Well genius, birth control!!
Mark - don't be making excuses for people....she made the decisions to have 3
kids, no husband, living in cali, no retirement etc etc
This is going on all over the country. We are witnessing record high unemployment, with the highest inflation since the great depression. We have seen entire industries fold over the last eight years. We are not in good times. I think that is what this article is about.hahahahah i guess your forgetting about the 70's and early 80's Mark. 240 thank God you did all this 5-10 years ago. Mark is saying you'd wouldn't be able to do it now. HA.
Props to 240 for busting his ass to get where he's at in life. But, it would be very difficult to do that in today's world.

Those are minimum wage jobs.
You can't compare the recessions of the 70's and 80's to what is going on today.
America is a sick society. the West is rotten at its core. it has abandoned the wishes of Allah (Go) in order to let homosexuals run free and women try to take the places of men, something they are not capable of ever doing.
Western Democracy has failed. The economy has failed in America. Personal happiness has not happened and the gays and women have too much power.
I genuinely do believe that the West could save itself by embracing Islam and stopping the lunacy.
You can't compare the recessions of the 70's and 80's to what is going on today.You said we have record high unemployment and the highest inflation since the great depression. Two widely incorrect statements. I told you to check the 70s and early 80's so you can see your errors.
I don't think Sharma is even a muslim. Just some lame gimmic.
::) Gee, there's a fire... let's get some gasoline to pour on it, quick!
What's going on today is everyone wants to live beyond their means.

Here we go again...
Even Soros (that bastard) has admitted that the worst is behind us.
Hey, did you get my PM, bro? ???
Wages have not kept up with the rising cost of living. Minimum wage in the 80's was $3.35 per hour, in the late 80's it was raised to $4.25 per hour. I could be wrong, but believe I'm right. You could rent a decent apartment for $250.00 per month back in late 80's.ugh. You're flat out wrong. Why won't won't you admit your statements were factually wrong? Why are you using minimum wage as a basis for your argument. These days the only people making min wage are illegal immigrants and high school kids. Hell, I worked at sports authority in HS and made $8.50 an hour in 2000. You're also referring to federal min wage which was 5.15 while states liek FL and NY have erstate min wage.
Up until last year minimum wage was $5.25 per hour. To get an apartment at $250.00 per month in the 80's would cost you today about $500.00 to $850.00 per month depending on what area of the country you lived in. I'm not even going to go into the cost of everything else.
What's going on today is much different from the 70's and 80's.
I don't think Sharma is even a muslim. Just some lame gimmic.
I don't even heard of 'gimmick' until I came here.you dont know happynness if you think five pillars brings happines yoru wrong
You want to talk seriously about Islam? I can easily prove to you I am Muslim. I take my Islam very seriously and it makes me a stronger person. Through knowing Allah I become a happy person. This is not a happiness that Americans know despite their ipod and creature comforts.
America is dead spiritually. It has lost sight of real truth and Western Democracy has FAILED becuase it has rewarded the sick and depraved infidels when they should be punished.
Why so many depressed and kill themselves if America is so great?
THE POLITICIANS YOU DUMBASSES ELECT COULDNT CARE LESS WHAT THE FUCK YOU THINK ABOUT THE ECONOMY OR OUR COUNTRIES POLICIES. HOPE THIS HELPS.

You are wrong. You said unemployment is at record highs and inflation is near great depression levels. Both WRONG. Stop basing your argument on the min wage. Its not the "working" wage. Less than 2% of americans earn min wage. Over 50% of that is people 16-24 years old (people in school) Yes i'm 25 and I hope your not older than me.
No I'm not wrong.
The working wage has not kept up with the rising cost of living. What part of that do you not understand? How old are 25? You need to learn simple arithmetic.

When high paying jobs are harder to find, the employees that prove themselves to be less expendable will continue to flourish.Don't argue with this guy Justin. You're a self made guy. He doesn't think people like you exist anymore.

No one goes wanting in this country without really trying. Our poorest are our fattest, and each has more cars, electronics, and essential brand-name urban wear/bling than the average African has food. Fuck the homeless.

I've got a degree in economics and we're talking about the economy. Reading comprehension?
You do not have a degree in economics. You can't even calculate wages to inflation. ::)You obviously don't have a college degree, but i do have a BS in Economics from UF. You used a horrible example. Its a simple calculation, but a useless one. Why can't you understand this?
Exactly. This is the reason we sit around and bitch about our foreign doctor, the foreign engineer that took our job, and the foreigner that took our (insert highly skilled position). The sense of entitlement in America is saddening. The "American dream" is as alive as ever, it is just no longer Americans that are willing to do the work in achieving it.
There is a great story in one of Richard Feynman's books. He liked to have cab drivers drive him into the "heart" of the city. They'd pick him up at a large physicist's convention and assume he would rather go to a "nice" part of town. One particular trip involved a cab driver that lived in a particularly bad part of town. They drove to his neighborhood and talked about some of the people there. The cabbie pointed out one individual in a small shack who's son was in an American medical school. THAT is what the American dream is about.
The cabbie had a dream of opening a business. (I don't remember what type). His business plan? He saved his money to buy lottery tickets. As soon as he won the lotto, he was going to start up his business......
You obviously don't have a college degree, but i do have a BS in Economics from UF. You used a horrible example. Its a simple calculation, but a useless one. Why can't you understand this?
Justin, I respect your positive attitude. However, reality is, it's a tough job market and economy right now. Gas prices and food prices are at record highs. Millions of Americans have lost their homes and jobs due to very challenging economic conditions. It's not going to get better anytime soon.
We were talking about making a living on a low income. That part you didn't understand.Who was? The title of the thread is "Is this what America is coming to" You were talking about the overall health of the economy. As I stated before less than 2% of Americans earn min wage and out of that more than 50 % are age 16-24. So you made this whole thread to talk about how less than 1% of this country is having problems living in this economy. Nice try.
There are people who's lives aren't turning to shit. What are they doing differently?

That is just it.
Low incomes suck, the minimum wage may as well be $0. You can't function and thrive on 40 hours a week at $6 an hour.
Thankfully there are thousands of technical schools offering flexible night classes. Programs that cannot legally discriminate because of race, ethnicity, sex, or ugliness. Less than 2 years in these programs can put ANYONE in a position to make upwards of $70 an hour in a variety of positions.
The average ultrasound Tech in Santa Barbara makes $61,000 a year. The higher end is over $100,000 a year.
Americans are getting older, fatter, and more sedentary. ANY medical position is going to be as secure of a job as you're going to find for the rest of this lady's life.

LIES LIES LIES...YOU ARE STILL WITH YOUR MUM....
Here is a little math for you...Work for ten dollars per hour for forty hours per week you get four hundred dollars...RIGHT!!!!...Where do you work where taxes are not taken out??? More like work forty hours per week and get 300 dollars if you are lucky. Take 250 dollars of that and maybe you can find a efficiency... now try and survive on 50 bucks per week. IN the case of this woman who is now homeless and 65 college is out of the question. BTW...I don't know what school you are attending that is so generous with grants, scholarships and federal loans...In case you are a 75 year old man living back in the days of WHEN...grants, scholarships and loans are just about a thing of the past. I had to help my sister pay for her nephew to go to college simply because the government grants and scholarships that he received on top of the bank loans was insufficient.... GREED has taken over college...even local and community colleges are expensive, and they know there are no jobs available for those who graduate...at least not at a pay scale that is livable, so they are trying to make all of their money off of the enrollees. Soon everyone will be pretending to be a Mexican just to get a job.
BTW you have the same mentality as this woman...thinking that you will always be able to get over and that nothing will happen to you...you are the prime candidate for everything to happen top you and when it does just remember your comments about her
Inspirational!
