[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 94467, member: 1545"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> I think the world is harder now</div></div> I think you make a very, very valid point hearthope. It seems that when my parents were starting out, my dad's factory job was sufficient for them to buy a home, have health insurance and enough groceries to keep the body alive. Fast forward two generations. My sister in law (a high school grad) works full time without the benefit of insurance or any type of benefits for that matter. daughter has to work part time. They can barely afford rent and food money is very tight. Even with help from Angel Food Ministries. Times are different. Making a living wage is more difficult (especially in our fine state). Working 40 hours a week no longer qualifies an employee for health insurance. The number of working poor has to have increased in the past years. The world IS harder now. [/QUOTE]
