With that said, there are a good number of people who don't know shit about finances and literally live day to day on their paycheck. I'm not talking about the people who are in bad life situations, I'm talking about the ones who make good money and after a week of no work would be 100% screwed. |
I have one up the hall from me. He makes about 20% less than I do annually ....and he's constantly broke and complaining about it.
How in the hell are you constantly broke when you make 100,XXX a year?
We got our bonuses at the 1st of March. His is gone. I still have every bonus I received for the last 5 years put away.
I admit I'm a cheap bastard, but that is ridiculous.
**edit** And we live in an area where the cost of living is cheaper than anything you could imagine!
