losing your job? having no income from your savings?

julieq

No-one has a god given right to risk free income from savings, sorry. The only reason you can get risk free money without doing anything just because you have money is because someone else is lending it to "chav scum" and the rest of the population and getting more for it than they give you, or someone is investing it in the companies selling stuff to "chav scum" (etc).

If everyone saved and never spent, then what would happen is, well, what is happening now. It's not that bright a thing to advocate.

Well done if you have savings. You've got choices now, you could choose to stick your neck out and invest, otherwise you'll have to take what the general state of the economy doles out to you.

Have you had any blood tests recently? I am thinking "Anemia".

They are always advertising that sort of job! Or almost always.

The B*****s won't give it to me, though. I've tried.

I've never had a bean left over to save from. I sold my house, now I have that money, which will buy another house and I'll be back to not having any money again.

But house prices falling fast so you are better off by some measures....

1. I like the SP posts:o (never look at them these days now though)

2. PN lives alone, is not employed and is probably scared. I'm scared senseless at times by this and we-DH and I- have an income and each other. Its hard to have perspective when you are scared and I, for one, won't condemn people for lapses into fear under those circumstances. Furthermore, if you live alone and have 'interaction issues' (Pastures, please forgive my lack of tact with that) then your online network might be your main source of interaction, venting, and support.

its ok, because the chav grasping class are not effected.

The 'Chav class' will be impacted by food inflation.

You would prefer no-one own their own home?

Don`t care who you are. Anyone with a bit of sense is now worried. I am going to retire in a few years. Mortgage free, debt free yet worried. Pensions/ investments on the floor. Need to keep my contract for work and so on. If I was 30 years younger I would be worried about mortgage payments and so on. Very few are getting away without a lot of worry.

I'm young and am very financially stable. Minimal monthly out goings and fairly high monthly income, with a good stash in the bank to last me years if need be.

My life, however, is made hell by health problems so I kinda pooped out. I wish I had money problems instead!

I just want to work but get accused of being selfish because I want to......

Me too. I have a serious health problem that I have already made more recovery (over the last few years, I got ill quite young) than was ever expected from me, and I intend getting better still! And the point was made by DD that we need some perspective but I repeat what I said in response to that: you get ill, you get perspective and you make adaptations in life and then you still need to decide how to spend, how to save, and how to vote.

Is this going anywhere or did you just fancy a rant?
