Exactly!!! Opportunity is only what we make it.. It doesn't "knock" we have to put it's hand up to the door and make it knock..

So true Judy I must say myself even though I have been without work it has made me look life a bit different. I've learned to appreciate what I have more then before as well as I have gotten to spend a lot more time with my granddaughter bigsmile Therefore it has been all worth while in the end...



Oh absolutely. Me too. Helped a lot of other people, and my kid's schools - more volunteering - while I have been recklessly wild and crazy smokin :tongue:

I don’t really fit this, but …close

Three years ago I had to shut down both of my companies due to a crooked partner and a slowing economy. In the time since it has been very hard to find sustainable business, the last two houses I built netted little profit because of the failing housing market….which is why it took 14 months to sell either one of them. (That’s a lot of interest btw)

If you think taking a 50% cut is difficult, try having a negative cash flow for 32 consecutive months. Times are still hard for many people, much more so than the news and/or the government report.




Well ya exactly. Like the unemployment state/fed percentages? Heck, that's just the people, like me, who actually FILE and COLLECT UI bennies. A boatload don't.



no you are right many don't...and lets not forget the ones who have already cycled out of the system.

<-----I haven't worked in over 3 years! Been sitting in this chair on the beach!drinker
my turn to use that chair so move over lol



Ya I have to say .. being off for the year and 1/2, I could REALLY get used to this laugh
fo sure lol but seriously its recession pretty hard for some family's to get their basic needs much less a job to provide it



Unfortunately you are right. Our church as a corporate body is pulling together and helping so many in our community out during the hard times.

And let's face it .. Even with the high unemployment rate and struggles economically, we are in a much better place than the Great Depression, and still at the top 5% richest in the world.
