And you'll be rolling all over the place with glee. What a prince.

She at work now-lol
That's right, Grasshopper. She's at work doing something constructive while your fat butt is as usual parked on the couch watching the game while your belly stuffed with take-out wings hangs over your boxers.

He's such an inept fool himself that on the rare occasions when he can find someone he thinks is below him he uses their situation to bolster his own inadequacies, never realizing that all he's doing is making a fool out of himself. When HE was unemployed it was a whole different story and the whining was incessant. He doesn't realize that karma is a biotch!!!

A very high percentage of the population here where I live holds at least two jobs. One man I've known for well over a quarter century isn't unusual. By day he's a longshoreman and works a minimum 40 hour a week job which he's been doing for well over 30 years with the same company. Nights and weekends he operates his own taxi van. He's slowly building his house, living on the first floor while the second floor is completed as money flow permits. He married later in life and his two young girls will soon be done with high school and then will go on to college stateside, something he's been saving for for years.

When I have people like this around me and know so many others similarly working long hours to not just get by but better themselves, TVSG's crass comments irritate the bejasus out of me. Such a pompous big ass who's never lifted a hand towards or had a kindly word to say to anyone who's busting their chops. He just thinks their lot is funny. And he's the one who has to create a whole thread about whether to use up his savings or buy on his one credit card a measly television set. Good grief. I guess my day's rant is over early today!!!!

Soooo, because she mentioned it on Facebook, which is a website for people to mention things about their life, she's 'bragging' about it?

I hate when people post daily blogs about the color of their baby's poo, but I just ignore it and move right along. Why can't you do the same?

I feel bad for her. I would draw a line between making more money or spending time with family. If you need 4 jobs to barley get by, you are clearly living too large. I mean, even when my husband and I were deep in debt and only made 30k a year combined, we still were able to make it on one job each. If we were to work a second job we would have extra money to pay off some debt. If you need 4 jobs to just make it, then I wonder were your money really goes to?

Wait, TV&SG would have to use his entire savings to buy one TV set??? I hope he saved the box in case he has to live in it one day... No wonder everyone came out of the woodwork to bash this guy

Why is wrong with people?-lol
There is nothing wrong with wanting to excel and succeed. She is pushing it to the limit and risking getting burned out and exhaustion, but since I don't know her personally, I cannot comment on whether this is a good idea or not.

I work 12 hours a day 6 days a week and 7 hours on the 7th day. It's hard but very rewarding. Someday I'll have a nice little nest egg built up and I can sit back and watch the grass grow. Sacrificing now, for a better life down the road.

Maybe she feels the same way.
