Bad bosses and the monotony of laborious work (sadly no money for uni) was and the reason I started reading books about passive income streams.
Grasim, if it were not for my decision to approach the management of my money in a careful manner, you would be counting me as one of the folk you represent. For your information my home was paid off while my wife and I earned a minimum wage.
As for my working history; At times I found myself working for bigger pr icks than myself, who would not acknowledge effort and offer balance in the work place. They were the times I found the go slow method helped..... but then I'd get bored and have to snatch it!
More recently I worked for a boss who fixed us up with a couple of beers every night. Needless to say he always received my best efforts. He added 6 pay rises over 18 months and I never asked for one! He still calls me from out of state to see if I want any work!
On a personal note; My old school teacher neighbor lost his wife this year. He was strangely (as Gmac pigeon holed these folk earlier) born and bred in the western districts of Vic! Do you think I'm too full of myself to spend time with him? We get along magnificantly and I am fully aware of how helpful to a single old fella this must be in carrying on.
I think you know but don't acknowledge that the folk you claim to speak for are often every bit as nasty as you think some on here are. Do you know what hot dog soup is? A child from a local school here revealed this after a class questioning about the previous nights meal..... Hot dog soup is the water that is left over after mum and dad have eaten the hot dogs. Selfishness of this magnitude against ones own children is not just a result of being poor. It's all about attitude, and the attitude imo often explains the underlying money problem also.
