Reply #50: Yeah, I've heard people here on DU complaining that 100K

[earth mom]

was tough to make it on, so now that figure its 80K :eyes:

Pardon me while I :puke: because I know what it's like to drive the car on fumes and buy less than a gallon of gas-all in change. I know what it's like to pawn an engagement ring-bought in happier and better off times-and lose it to the pawn shop. I know what it's like to go to the payday loan places and pay insane interest on a $300 loan. I know what it's like to juggle bills and have the phone shut off more than once in a year. I know what it's like to donate plasma for a lousy 20 bucks just to put gas in the car. I could go on and on, but won't.

When someone making 80 to 100K has to live like that and worse, then I'll feel bad for them. Otherwise, spare me! :mad:
