The fact that at 63 he can't survive 8 months off of work pretty much tells the story. So true. He could sign up for SS and still work. I have friends my age who will have to work till they drop because of stupid decisions they made, some multiple times like marriages. A few have kids 40 years old from their first marriage and 12 years old from their third marriage. These guys made over 200K 20 years ago but having to divide it in half and then half again has killed their income and chance to retire. The problem is finding a job at 65 years old. It’s almost impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Just out of curiosity. What would be an acceptable amount of time for the state to forcibly shut your business down before it effects you financially and it is no longer your fault? 2-5 10- 20 years???? sweet fuck people are really something.

Prior to March 2020 we were in the biggest economic run of most of our lifetimes and it was killed by politicians Reality of the fact anyone who "loses" their home is a retard. The market will absorb the inventory at prices far greater than the majority paid and you are better off selling if you are truly in trouble. We saw very few that were in forbearance who were really in trouble, most did it because the media convinced them they could skip payments but to refinance to the record low rates we made them pay 3 months before they could close. That economic run also involved the highest run up on the country’s credit card ever recorded. I’m calling bullshit on all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted March 3, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Government should have subsidized every single business they forced to close including operating costs and full payroll for employees and they should have made it a simple and quick process. Other countries were able to do it. BTW telling someone that it’s their fault that they weren’t prepared for 8 months without a job is fucking assinine.

Don't be stupid, if at 63 you can't survive 8 months off of work, more than likely that individual was doing something wrong up to that point.

A little wisdom for you and whoever else needs it below. Do you know how many people in America literally can't go more than a month without income? Regardless of age? Poor decisions are a large part but not all. When the government kills off wages for many out of an irrational fear....that's something we should all have a big fucking problem with instead of blaming everyone unable to be financially fiscal. The same goes for those in government ensuring all can get a mortgage.....in spite of many individuals being able to think smart about what they can afford. Again, the government solves nothing.

NOTHING. many can't go more than a week. Personal financial responsibility in this country is absolutely terrible and passed from generation to generation. I am fortunate that my mother taught me well (prob too well given how cheap i can be) my father was a spender but she kept him inline. Even though I think Dave Ramsey is a bit of a fraud i suggested a coworker get financial peace university for her mid 20's son as he has no financial reality and i think someone starting from zero can learn a lot from the guy about budgeting and at least thinking through your choices.

My father could make a mile of copper wire out of a penny. I don't think I'm quite as bad (my wife thinks otherwise) but, bottom line is, everyone should look for financial freedom (no debt) and almost every move should be aimed around that, IMO. Nawww...fuck that! $80k truck, wifey in a new SUV, new sleds and trailer, house that is way too much and some "look at me" bling! Yep....all for easy monthly payments...for the rest of your life. That's the ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Most couldn’t go 8 days without a pay check without feeling consequences. Not the Rockefeller’s here though. so full of shit. I don’t care how well you have squirreled money away. 8 months with no job, The toys are going up for sale, the hot rod, you are going to make changes. But yeah. The State destroyed my business, guess I shouldn’t of been living so high on the hog. Derp, Derp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who are smart enough save money for rainy days by not buying all those "look at me" toys, it's called priorities over pleasure.

I was talking about this this morning with that coworker as she's helping her mid 20's son buy a car. he never learned those skills. his cousin on the other hand went to an online school after some issues with the public school and they had a whole semester class about basic personal finance so at 18 has more knowledge than someone 6-7 years older.
