Guess they maybe should find a job and go to work.
sad so very sad, not your friends, you are. glad you are showing youre true colors here
i was going to let this go but.. how sad you are that you think that the privilegded loosing their wealth is more devastating that someone getting their second hand car repeod just goes to show how out of touch with reality you are i used to dislike you now i just feel sorry for you you are pathetic. you are a small little little man. most folks here are too polite to say it but it is my personality to confront bullies and bs (both acronyms for bs will fit ) you are now officially on my ignore list so long jerk
Hey WE, can you name this tree by it's bark?

Where someone who has lost millions in their 40's are ready to jump off a bridge. Priorities are screwed up and they feel like life is over. I was trying to show a difference in attitude towards life.
I also did not wish them death. Their attitude towards losing their money is backwards. The loss is consuming them and they are neglecting what is the most important things in life.... their children. Death would be a blessing based on the hurt they are causing people around them over money. Wildwoman hit the nail on the head.
OR maybe WE drives a Pacer.
Mid 40's and retired :eek:
The age of retirement up here is well in the 60's and i think it wil be increseing soon. Thy arent exactly 'poor' and i guess that they are healthy ? If they where making that ammount then they musthave been able to afford health care.
I would teel them to get a job. End of. If they are sufferin from haveing little money then they should do something about it.
What's wrong with driving a pacer? My first car was a Pacer. What a babe magnet!
Soooo many things DennisQuote:

They have each other, as many don't.
When I lost it all a couple times, it was not fun but looked at it as a life challenge. First thing I did was shore up my marriage and relationship with my kids. With that complete, I put my elbow to the grindstone and got back to work.
These folks were leveraged up to their necks in their real estate. During the real estate boom, many speculators were buying house after house with little if anything down. They'd take out these outrageous interest only ARM mortgages and lived on the idea that real estate would rise forever. Not!!! Once prices collapsed everyone who had a lot of leverage in real estate was killed. End of story.
yep - the seats folded all the way back - kinda like driving a recliner.
And the electrical system in mine was... errrrr ...creative.
One night on the way home, my dash lights went out. kinda disorienting. So I hit the brakes. They came back on. went off again as soon as I let off the brakes.
That car reminds me of Meatloaf. not the singer. the color. I drove a meatloaf brown Pacer w/ no dash lights. and it was a babe magnet - at least in my mind. Strange meaning to Paradise by the Dashboard Lights - also by meatloaf. the singer. not the food. That would be Rocky Horror.
Frankly, retired in your 40's isn't a tough do. I retired at 49. You just have to watch what you're doing and make certain your don't put yourself in debt for the wrong reasons and you can manage the debt you do decide to take on. Anything is achievable, even in the current economy, if you set up realistic plans and follow through. Pay yourself first is the most important rule.
49 Rick, Hmmmmmm. Thats at the back end of the 40's. Its closer to the 50's if you ask meQuote:

Διάβασα την ιστορία σου και πραγματικά με άγγιξε. Είναι τρομερό πόσο εύκολα μπορούν να αλλάξουν όλα, ειδικά όταν πιστεύεις ότι έχεις χτίσει μια σταθερή ζωή. Κάτι παρόμοιο έζησε κι ένας γνωστός μου στην Ελλάδα — έχασε σχεδόν τα πάντα σε λίγους μήνες και έψαχνε τρόπο να ξεφύγει από την πίεση. Του πρότεινα να δοκιμάσει το spino gambino casino, όχι για τα χρήματα, αλλά για να αποσπάσει λίγο το μυαλό του. Λίγη χαλάρωση, έστω και μέσα από ένα παιχνίδι, μερικές φορές είναι αυτό που χρειάζεσαι για να θυμηθείς πως η ζωή συνεχίζεται.
