Hope you make more than $9/hr. Does major kick in at some point?

 

I am thinking....say what you will about a $9.00 per hour job, but I remember some of the easiest/most care free times of my life happened while I was making less than $8.00, with an economical car, a motorcycle, all the cable channels, and no worries, no calendar other than what time I had to be to work, and lots and lots of time on my hands.

Now, I make much more, but am stressed out all the time, overburdened, and forced to work rather than chosing to. Now, I can't go back to making less, I have myself backed into a corner, I can't go anywhere that pays less, due to expenses that we have created for ourselves, and the lifestyle we are accustomed to.

Some times I long for the good ol days of the 9.00 per hour job.

However, I wouldn't give up doing any of what I have to do so that I can provide for my wonderful family.

 

I've made much less than $9 an hour but that was way before having kids and a house and many years ago.

 

Obama says heck 9$ a hour is plenty for us pesants to live on. now polish them shoes for the ultra rich and quit your crying.

 

Huh? Hadn't been heard that.
