Re: Great Depression again?

Are you fukin kiddin me? The great depression!? haha wtf are you talking about? The stock market has set new all time highs. Unemployment is at an all time low, steadily decreasing (4.9% as of Jan 2008). Interest rates are low and steadily getting better. People are donating record amounts of money! Farming, crop, and livestock are doing great...

you need to be a financial analyst..palease.. Where did you and your grandmother come to this conclusion?, while you were standing in line on the street waiting on a free hot plate while trying to keep warm by the fire in a steel drum? or sitting in a nice climate controlled home? The homeless don't even have to do that these days. A study was done, and bums average between $16-$20 an hour in a metro area. That's a bum's wage. and they could get a job if they really wanted one. the great depression....phshht...

Re: Great Depression again?

Gee, looks like I wasn't to wrong was I? And this was a thread reiterating another thread I made almost a year earlier than the first post!

I need to be a financial analyst dammit!

Re: Great Depression again?

I guess what I meant was just seeing these younger people who DO NOT MAKE THE KIND OF MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING. They have nothing going to savings or any type of 401K. But they damn sure like living in the nicest house with the nicest rides.

I'll see them in about 15 years when I am sitting on the beach drinking a umbrella drink and they are serving me...LOL

You couldn't be anymore right! They spend like fools and 90% of them have absolutely zero knowledge of how to invest or what to invest in!

All they care about is freaking Dub rims and Prada purses. It's so lame! It's as if these people think other people stop in place and say "Wow he has Dub rims, I wish I was him!" or "Wow she has a Prada purse, I wish I could be like her!". It's retarded! NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU HAVE OR WEAR!

Good point bro! Rep coming your way!

i think he means its all the "wives" that would be at the mall

Wow Tmann I'm having an ultimate blonde moment. I'm not understanding what you meant. I think I hit the crackpipe to hard last night! jj

Re: Great Depression again?

LOL, of course they would make less than $10 per hour. Because the people who actully 'make' the money they are spending are busy at work.

Re: Great Depression again?

Depends on area, but I don't know anyone else that is 28 or under making $14-$15 an hour. Most people make about $10. I bet if you were to take a poll at a local mall with people 28 or under 85% would be making $10 or under.

For the most part that's the case here too. Some of the cargo trailer plants here top off for line workers around 13 or so per hour plus bonuses and that's about as good as it gets unless you've got some sort of degree.

Re: Great Depression again?

hell where i live 18 year old kids are making 70k+ a year...they either start off in the power plans for around 65k, or they work in the mines making 70-90k a year...or they go work in the oil fileds where they average over 65k a year...dont like the energy industry? ok, get a job in construction or running heavy equipment, and you would prob have to settle for $20 an hour to start.Hell, i was making WAAAY more than $10 an hour in the military when i got out in 96...uncle sam was giving me $1600 clear every 2 weeks back then!

Well its obviously different elsewhere. I live in western NC and you're lucky to find a job starting at 10 an hour without a degree.

Yup.

And Digg, this is probably the only time we'll agree on a political stance.

Re: Great Depression again?

Well what about the young people who make $14 to $15 an hour and are simply living beyond their means paycheck to paycheck. Pay for everything with a credit card and drive the most expensive rides and live in very expensive houses just because their credit allows them to do it for now.....

I for one think if people would chill out with their spending habits and not try to live above their means everything would be a whole lot simpler for them. Who cares if you drive a Denali when you are 26 years old....

Re: Great Depression again?

Tman, I have to disagree with you on the meaning of the average wage in America. Yes, it may be $18 an hour, but factor out the rich and you're down in the bucket. The majority of people make crumbs for wages now.
