More Cuts !!!

[HALEY]

Hope everyone is right, it just sucks to live in a time like this. I wish they would have laid me off, i would be making more money on unemployement than what i am getting now, and i would go back to school .. and get the hell out of here!! That's for sure..

Be careful what you wish for Haley....it has a way of coming true and unemployment doesn't go on forever.

i know Janet, i just re read the min. from our meeting we had yesterday and now i'm pissed off again, i see the ceo and vp's are still getting there yearly bonus, now why?? i was calming down until i re-read everything.. That is not fair.

Janet, I'm with you on being careful what you ask for. I also like to "walk a mile in their shoes". Heck, the higher my position the more pay I expect. Some are extravagant, but what would you do if you were one of these CEOs?

You're right, that's not fair but since when do the CEO's and VP's worry about being fair? Don't let it ruin your day/week. Look at what you DO have and be thankful. Don't lose your joy!

Yep Diana, your right, I thank God, i have a roof over our heads, food in the house, and clothes on my back... what more could you ask for... we just have watch what we spend our money on until this whole mess is over with, make some sacrifices and move on, i'm sure alot of people are worse off than we are.
I'm just mad at the greediness of the rich that got us into this mess in the first place.
Sometimes i just can't believe what i am hearing on the radio or the tv, some people expect Obama to get us out of this mess, buy us houses, cars, that one lady wanted a new kitchen and bathroom and a new car.. i'm just at an awww at what i am hearing these days..... i think i'll call Obama and tell him i need a new job and house...

People's greed is what has gotten us in this mess, in my opinion. Everything from over-charging the government to having credit cards filled to the limit. I think that we're in a time of, hopefully, correction. We're going to learn that we don't have to have every new gadget that comes out and learn to live a little more within our means with some saved away for a rainy day. Unfortunately there's always going to be someone who thinks that they deserve more than everyone else. I figure that God is going to give everyone what they deserve one of these days and I'm going to be glad that I'm not in their shoes!!!

your right Diana, everyone wants to live like the "Jones" next door.
I have one cc to pay off this month, hopefully!!! and i'm done with the cc. if we can't pay cash we don't need it.
i cut down on alot of things lately, food, clothes etc, i'm even dying my own hair now... not doing a good job the grays keep coming thru but it's saving me alot of money... if we go out we go out on Sunday's buy one sandwich get one free he. he but there so good!!!
and we try to put so much away a month in our savings, "we all have rainy days" and hopefully if something breaks down we will have the money to fix it..
With everything happening right now, i hope the American people get there heads screwed on right, get themselves out of there debt they got into and start living within there means. If i can do it, on 1/2 my salary i know alot of people can do it....
