Jesus fuck. seriously. I've noticed that everyone around me who works regularly is pretty much braindead. as in, no time to read or think or consume healthy culture. just braindead, bitter assholes who think a 3 day vacation is some kind of gift from god. I don't mean to hate, but I'm testing the territory. quite frankly "working people" all act like 40 year old mid life crisis bitter cunts. no joy remains. I'm not really hating too much here. Because I encourage such "cunts" to take a fucking breath and investigate healthy culture. Seriously. Go to a fucking opera or something. Turn off ESPN, or better yet send your TV to Goodwill so someone even more destitute can use it to ease their utterly hopeless shithole of a situation. As for you upper middle class 40 year olds, please, for fucks sake. Go to the opera. these simple. bitter. pleasures... Just take a look at your life folks. it ain't pretty. haha.

luke viia Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Because if you work more than 40 hours, your employer is forced to pay you 1.5x (or sometimes 2x) as much money every hour. Unless you're on a salary, at which point you're probably just working that much to attempt to get a promotion and... work even more? I don't know, that shit is senseless. I'm planning to be "poor" for the rest of my days. Free time > money.

Redruth Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 what constitutes being 'lazy'? one could be quite busy and proficient at various pursuits that others regard as unimportant, is that lazy? if you are not performing socially acceptable work tasks, for long drawn out periods of time each day then you are considered lazy? what if i work in the heat of wheat fields and choose to sleep in the shade of trees for the better part of the afternoons to avoid the heat stroke and the cancer? am i lazy then? if my family chooses to live by little means and instead we share the time we've saved with each other, is that lazy? is it not the efficiency of work that is most highly prized, not the amount of time spent preforming it? who is responsible for this study? the lancet can lick on my balls thx plees!

luke viia Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 sprigg, smetty -- that is madness! Where are you people living that rent is that expensive? I live in Seattle, a city highly ranked among the most expensive to live... and while I don't really live in a nice (or trendy) neighborhood at the moment, my rent is $899. Split with my girl, it's pretty affordable each month.. minimum wage here is $9. If I worked 50 or 60 hours a week I'd be fucking banking, but I'm working part time and sliding by instead, saving pennies to put toward whatever schooling my financial aid and scholarships won't cover. I'm sure you're both aware of this, but as a sort of general rule, people say to never spend more than 1/3 your monthly income on rent.... 60 hours a week and you're barely paying the bills?

How can you work so much and yet barely make enough to make ends meet? What bills are your salaries going to? I'd like to know just so life doesn't crush me any more than it already is. Bills, in $/month 200- car 150- insurance for my car (shitty driving record a few years back, and it's still fucking me in the ass) 225- rent 90- phone 50- student loans 20- credit card 50- utilities My phone plan is with ATT and it's fucking ridiculous and overpriced, I'll be switching when my contract is up in November... that should knock off a bit. I get shit gas mileage and drive 20 minutes to work each way, so I spend roughly 30 dollars a week on gas, closer to 50 if I actually go out and do anything else... hopefully living in the downtown area will take care of a lot of that, and when I get my nursing assistant's license in spring, I should be doing a bit better financially, and will finally be able to go back to school next fall! In the meantime, I'm trying to get a second (or just full-time) job so I can raise my standard of living a bit. Also, the credit card is in pieces and probably melted/recycled at this point. Stay the fuck away from that shit.
