“$70k + Benefits? YOU MAKE ENOUGH MONEY. How can you not survive on that? They expect a job for life where they never have to save or plan or invest or learn any new skills. And they say millenials are entitled?”
“The US needs a union revival. This is disgusting to watch.”
“I you’re making 70 grand a year, you should be saving at least 20 thousand a year, but Americans like to buy their toys and squander their money like there’s no tomorrow. Just do the math: 20 thou/year over 15 years that’s 300 thou, house paid off plus compounded interest. just saying.”

I got fired this year from a job I wasn’t happy doing… With that I sold some belongings, got a small loan and started my own business… in just a few short months I’ve gone from earning minimum wage and hating life, to now being able to envision a future where I’m free from the shackles of my own fears of failing.”
“When he said, “The clock is ticking,” it made me think of my job. I’ve been at my current job for about 5 and a half years now and for my 5th year anniversary, I got to choose a free gift from the company from a catalog. I chose a wall clock.
