Any parents out here NOT blaming the reduction for everything?
Just curious. I kind of get tired of hearing it.
I blame porn, that is why I keep an eye on it too engineer sure that it does not do anymore damage to mankind.
You can thank me later.
EDIT:
Especially that lipstick lesbian porn, that is the worst, I really hold on to my eyes on that.
I agree. I start to tune out whenever I hear the "economy" mentioned anymore. I just read an article that said that near is a new trend emerging, where couples can't afford to get divorced because of the discount, joblessnes, etc, so they just end up staying in one and the same house together but estranged. One couple mentioned in the article even gets a babysitter for their kids on Friday nights so they can move about out on dates with OTHER PEOPLE. I imagine that this charitable of situation is even harder on the kids than a regular divorce, and I think it's a shame that people are doing this to their children and using the "economy" as an excuse!

when your local economy (cos of living vs average income) has sucked for years, you dont catch sight of much change in the national. maybe if citizens were used to living within their means, they wouldnt complain going on for the economy.. im hardly "successful". im 25, on my own, not a college grad, only work 1 work, own my car i bought (even if it isnt the greatest), but i have enough to remuneration my bills, and put some aside. it cant be THAT hard if you can find a half decent opportunity.
Sadly for a lot of citizens, it's just easier than saying "Mommy and Daddy got greedy, put things we didn't hold the money for on credit cards, took out 80/20 loans on a house they couldn't afford in the first place, and now we're broke due to our bad judgment".
Yes, the discount IS bad.Yes, my husband and I have personally taken pretty a hit on investments. But we're not broke or "suffering" because we didn't make bad choices.
Don't get me wrong- I'm not blaming the oodles, many hardworking people who just get trapped in a truly crap economy. I do, however, think a convinced portion of the population made lousy decisions, between loaning, financing and borrowing (borrowers and lenders alike) and when it all fell apart as houses of cards" eventually do, many other individuals got stuck with the bill.
No.
You must be rich - or married to a spouse with a good job.
Thanks for the empathy.
i'm not blaming them for everything, just the reality that I can't afford my house anymore because the cost of everything has gone up and my pay hasn't. It costs me twice as much in electricity, gas and auto fuel as it did two years ago, and I can't go my house because i bought it for 202K and its now only worth 170K. While i have equity, I don't want to clutch the loss, but nobody is buying because they can't sell their houses either, so i don't really have a choice regardless.
anybody that say I'M in control is full ofshit. Our company has cut jobs, be on a wage freeze and increased the cost of health care almost 40% in former times 2 years? How is that in MY control. My utilities have double and I'm being MORE conservative than ever on consumption. I've sold past its sell-by date every spare piece of anything I can give up. I've had 2 garage sales every summer, and am constantly encyclopaedia things on craigslist. Things that I love and need, but am learning to cope without. I bought a more fuel updated vehicle, which costs more to repair, upkeep and not to mention the outrageous price tag.
HOW IS THAT IN MY CONTROL?
I blame the discount for the fact that putting food on the tables getting really hard work. I blame it for my bf one layed off and having to get a assignment in mcdonalds, meaning less income, i blame it for almost person thrown out of our home cos we chose to feed our daughter over paying the rent. I blame for me not being able to attain a job after being layed off. But i don't blame it for everything, the discount isn't the reason why parents can't control their kids, thats just bad parenting, or not person allowed to punish your children, apparently shouting at them is child abuse now! Source(s): I'm 18 my bf is 22, neither of us have have loans or credit cards, so if people who think that's the only common sense people in 1st world countries are going hungry they a sorely mis informed.
Actually, I blame another government institution for my family's hard times, but at the risk of sounding like a broken story, I won't mention it familylaw. Oops, did I just type that out loud? anyhow, i think that for my one-income middle-class blue-collar familial, the economy looks more promising for us personally than it has for , voice, the last 8 or so years.
LOL The economy did hit us too bad so we don't really hold to complain about it. (except the price of gas LOL)
Our biggest problem these days is our Diapers.com order individual late, and no one wants to hear my complain roughly that! LOL
hmm the money my fiance makes is in reuslt of the economy. he is an autobody techinician and fixes dent, carshed cars. paints and adjectives that. there hasn't been a lot of work beause ancestors ar eholding onto their money before gettting their car fixed now days. i don't blame it though. we're still doing better than some populace. some people's money problem ARE in direct result of the economy but just because yours ins't doens't build it not real.
The economy always fluctuates. This isn't anything different than our parents deal with and others before them.
So no, I don't blame the economy. If we adjectives lived within our means and save 10% of our paycheck resembling we're supposed to, we'd be ok regardless of a fluctuating economy.
So while Yes the economy sucks, and it's probably causing me more stress ...it's not the motive of my troubles.
The economy DOES suck. We can’t exactly say that’s not true.
But I’ll speak for myself, we made some bad choices support a few years ago and it’s hurt our credit. But, the lack of jobs for people surrounded by construction (my husband) isn’t helping and caused us to fall behind on our bills. We’ve made GOOD choices from that point forward and we’re slack in there. But the job Instability sucks…..we can adjectives try and point fingers as to whose fault it is – but I’d much rather just fix the problem than point fingers.
Everyone is to blame. A little of this being, a little of that person, a little of those inhabitants over there.
All we’re doing is trying to hold our heads above water…..I have a relations to provide for and a son that relies on me. So I keep on trucking!!
** ADD **
I’ve been at my job for 6 yrs. We own NEVER had a layoff except for 9/11 because we work directly with the airline industry. NEVER had a layoff until that afternoon. We’ve been in full force since then and again, lately had another layoff due to the economy. I HAD job stability but presently? I have NO idea what’s to come. If we had a layoff at this company, things are looking pretty fruitless. I won't ask for a raise because I'm just thankful to hold on to a job.
My husband? He travels JUST to bring home money. Unemployment doesn’t cut it. And he can’t have no income because we can’t afford it. He got out of work in construction from at least 3 jobs.
Every other house surrounded by our area is for sale. Pending Foreclosure or attempting a short sale. It's rough here within FL.
Nobody has a CLUE what the future brings…..
** ADD **
I’ll speak for myself: I work, I budget, I do what I can to just hang on to going. Our situation, and many other people’s too, well, it is what it is. I can’t do much to fix it. But the reality is, it’s STRESSFUL because there’s nil we can do, at this moment, to change anything. I don’t necessarily focus on the negative, but it is what it is. I do what I can. I wish I could do more, but that’s out of my hand.
So if it means we eat more hot dogs and less “good meals” because it save us money, then so be it. Everyone has a situation, and to assume people aren’t trying or that culture could do more – I think that’s just plain silly.
Wouldn’t MOST people do what they can for their family?

Mrs. Herrera – next time I guess I’ll just get an abortion when my birth control fail.
How's the view from way up there? You're entitled to your opinion but to assume everyone "did it wrong" as you seem to explain...hmm...interesting.
But that might be why I don't see the ice cream lady, LOL.
Actually, that's the first time I mentioned it (I think). It does get matured, it's a sad story for many out there though.
Well, you know what, when you're a parent trying to make ends meet and support your family when prices for everything are rising, but your earnings is remaining the same (or worse, taken a hit), let's see what you blame.
considering the fact that my husband builds houses for a living and any side jobs he have are a result of homeowners with excess money who want things done to their house - i will say this it sucks out there. he be just off for 2 weeks. sure i can get a undertaking. you are right. (you metaphorically speaking) i had an offer - i made $75 a week after day watchfulness and car expenses. thats worth it eh? the whole thing stinks. is it the cutback? is it the govt? dont know where the fault lies. i would just similar to some security in knowing i can feed my kids subsequent month.
thats not too much to ask.
Well considering I work for State Government and they haven't passed a budget, I'm not getting paid at the moment and I have no idea when I'm going to.
So yeah I blame the administration and this crappy economy.
Answers: I blame the parents themselves. The reduction has always had ups and downs job loss has always risen and declined- some people should read a book or two. This is of late the first time people have been so materialistic and powerless to adapt and overcome to the hardship. People also have so much debt (before the reduction took a downturn so don't blame it on that) that when anything gets worse they can't make it because things were already rough on them. People necessitate to plan ahead, when it's good- live like it's bad so when it's bad you won't even identify and life goes on.
The stability of the economy does depend where on earth you live- where I live things haven't really changed. My husband and I got our usual raises he's working overtime and we hold new companies and neighborhood everywhere. Our house held it's same value and our tax rates in actual fact went down. So if it is really bad where you are you may want to consider moving where on earth it good.
edit: I agree with you AJ, it's is lone as bad as people as make it.
cut: Sorry you people don't have enough forthsight to retrieve your money and get your education, job, house and nest egg in order before you face up to the responsibility of adding kids into the mix. There is no reason one should have to live bad 2 incomes, no reason I have always made sure we can cause it on only one job and the earnings from the entire second undertaking go into savings. We worked 13 years on our education and stash before having kids so we wouldn't be in debt. We also live a greatly frugal existance. You have to plan ahead everyday before you do anything, especially life varying like having a family. Don't insult me for doing it the smart road and not having to suffer. The only way you can fashion it better is to start taking respsibility for some bad choices and just plain bad luck- quit blaming and wallowing surrounded by the pity party get to changing things and produce your life better if it sucks so bad.
Well it's kinda hard to ignore the facts but I agree some times you gotta just suck it up and do what you gotta do. Our grandparents get through the great depression and we'll survive this too.
I'm not. Regardless of your situation I contemplate you're in control!
EDIT: LOL @ the thumbs down. What did you want me to say "it's always someone else's show disapproval.. YOUR ENTITLED!! YOU ARE!" Get over it. Things are the way they are. Deal with it and chin up!
& I'm sorry you've had to put up for sale some clothing and pay a little more to continue living contained by your house, eating till well-nourished and having health strictness. Be thankful. Lots of families don't have those luxuries. You're surrounded by control of what you make of your situation. The economy isn't doing well but we enjoy the control to react to it how we like. I don't see how blaming and complaining helps.
I blame those who try to shift the subject of discussion from the discount. I have nothing else to talk roughly speaking.
Mine aren't!
We never do here, but that's probably because we aren't really struggling much.
with this troubled economy i be able to open up my own business again and get it started since rent on commercial property dropped signifigantly within my area i know longer work at my old job presently that my biz is doin so well some people just don t know how to pinch advantage of the situatuion will i complain, no it helped me get where on earth i am today
no
Funny you should ask.
I was purely on a site that showed schematics and images on why the economy is so bad. I hold been seriously lamenting over the fact that I am broke and will now surrounded by all probability stay broke for the rest of my life, and it occurred to me that in truth the only person I can blame is myself.
I squandered money on a lot of unnecessary things when I have it, and then after selling all my property I bought a boat and sailed rotten into the wild blue yonder.
I totally disregarded the fact that I would be turning fifty in an age where on earth keeping up with the technology of my industry (Graphic Design) is imperative, not to mention that returning to the work industry meant I would be competing with a slew of twenty-somethings who very soon know a whole lot more about web design than me!
Did I enjoy a lot of fun sailing through the Bahamas? Of course!
Would I do it again? Probably!
What am I going to do now? I haven't a clue!
Who do I blame? Me and a bottle of Rum! Source(s): Anyone need a accurate (great) fifty-something graphic designer with plenty of sailing experience?

I blame the establishment. Big government is a BAD thing. I think if we have smaller government things would be better. I also blame greedy CEOs.
