My question to you is... if you were layed off today how long could you survive without government assistance? I will tell you that I have been saving since my first job, if I were to lose my job and the chance of that is great in my field, I could live for 1 year without help. I am at that point not because I am rich, but because I have planned.

changing the subject again, to get away from the fact that your team has screwed the economic pooch
if i were laid off today it would be a surprise, since i have been retired since i turned 50. sure i make money consulting if a former client needs help, and i officiate a variety of sports, for which i receive decent compensation but it is the way i stay in good physical and emotional shape ... i don't depend on those incomes. no debt other than the annual property taxes on my still appreciating real estate (buy location - always). sending two children thru college and still have not touched my savings. so, yes, i too, have planned financially but my objections to the mismanagement of our economy are not about how they affect me as i am in fine shape. however, no American should ignore our country's problems, especially now that it is being date raped by dicknbush and their saudi cronies
