Whoa! No need to be so pessimistic! This is just a small correction, a soft landing and all that, then we'll be off on the gravy train again!

Sorry hun - I completely agree with you there. I thought you were calling the poor stupid. Not the stupid stupid!
I knew you must have meant something nice in there (and I wasn't being sarcastic before).
Already, the quotes for the work plus the expenses (legal) have taken their "profit" down to zero. What a time to get into this business!

It may be different down south to the north, maybe we have more idiots down here. When I lived up North (well if Yorkshire counts as North) it seemed things were different - people were more down to earth.

Originally posted by SallyAnne View PostI never said me - of course I can save I'm a contractor ffs!!
I was talking about the majority of the country who dont earn our wages - who do not have the ability to save, who barely get by on their wages. Those poeple are not stupid because they are in debt up to their eyeballs - they're just living! Just getting by!
Not everyone in the country is as blessed as we are - and by blessed I mean whatever "nurture or nature" made us go contracting....opportunity? ambition? parental guidance? natural ability to learn? Asberger gene? Who knows. Not everyone has is. Infact not everyone has the chance to use it, even if they DO have it!
Your comment just seemed cold thats all - unlike you normally.
