Paycheck to Paycheck
So what else is new......People today complain that the struggle
of living from "paycheck to paycheck" is something new.....
A house, two cars, child care, gas and utility prices just make
their lives too stressful......
What is new is the monetary value......Today people complain
because they can not afford a $30,000 car.....They only make
$100,000 a year.....Years ago you could not afford a $3,000
car because you only made $10,000 a year.......Nothing has
changed.......
I will admit that things like child care, cell phones, TV cable
reception and two or three cars in a garage did not exist.....
Years ago it was just one car in the garage and a chicken in
every pot, on Sunday.....
People are forgetting one simple basic fact of life.....The more
you spend, the more you have to work in order to pay the
bills.....I hope these people do not tire.......Pumps
