I lost my job in 2009 too. The whole company went belly up. I worked a contract situation for about two years, about half of which actually earned money because I allowed the government client to walk all over me. Now I’m making a third of what I was and have a credit rating that’s just above a pulse. I can hardly get an interview in my field and no job offers. It’s tough to pay your bills when you have no money.
Yep. It’s sometimes frustrating to hear Freepers whine about people who are struggling as if THEIR fortunate situation isn’t a blessing. I made pretty decent money for 20 years, lived off the savings of that or as long as I could with piece meal work here and there. I’m not a bum, but the situation isn’t good. It’s hard enough to find a minimum wage job, much less one that pays enough to raise a family.
Some Freepers are either in a bubble, or willfully ignorant. This country ain’t what it used to be.
