so swords your basically in the same boat as i have been in....in all honesty i hate it, so i am doing everything within my power to change my situation, complaining and whining for a hand out is a poor way to get ahead.....in 2008 my wife was working 80 hours a week between two jobs, i was putting 50 in here at the paper and picking up some hours here and there at the theater and installing carpet with a buddy some nights and weekends......doing all that we cleared around $50,000 combined.....granted im very much Anglo-Celtic and cant stand work cutting into my play time so i would cram 50 plus hours of work into 3 or 4 days so i could spend 4 fishing or hunting atleast one usually 2 weeks a month....
even still i was not happy with the figure so guess what? rather than sit and complain bout it, demand the federal government pick up my health insurance tab and free up funds, my wife and i completed the necessary steps to become partners in the paper rather than employees....by the end of 2012 im planning on the wife and i pulling down alot closer to the $70,000 and higher a year mark not working any harder than i have been for the last 16 years.....and we are doing this on our own, with two kids and not asking for a handout or help from anyone.....
i dont complain that i drive a 14 year old Jeep Cherokee(which my oldest girl will inherit this summer and i plan on replacing it with an even older vehicle i can work on myself)
i dont complain that up until this year my TV's have come out of pawnshops
i dont complain that when push came to shove i had no problem eating peanut butter sandwiches to get by
i dont complain that no one helped me when times were tight short of my parents watching the girls so i could work a second job
if i aint happy with my situation i dont cry foul and ask for a handout or help, i suck it up and do what needs to be done and in turn reap the rewards for my hard work.....and in return i dont like ppl taking money out of my paycheck to pay for the welfare and health care of someone that refuses to help themselves....ive been in their shoes....i drug myself out of it......you want me to pay for healthcare for adults? make them piss clean to get it.....want me to pay for welfare? make every one of them that asks for help piss clean and show they are trying to find work.......ive got no problems picking up the tab for healthcare for kids who's parents are lazy but i sure in the hell aint paying for the parents......you want my financial help? prove to me your trying......prove to me you aint using the funds on drugs.....if you can afford to get high or sit on your arse in front of a TV you dont need my money......
