Re: am i getting old?

My forgetter's getting better, <br />But my rememberer is broke <br />To you that may seem funny <br />But, to me, that is no joke <br /><br />For when I'm "here" I'm wondering <br />If I really should be "there" <br />And, when I try to think it through, <br />I haven't got a prayer! <br /><br />Oft times I walk into a room, <br />Say "what am I here for?" <br />I wrack my brain, but all in vain! <br />A zero, is my score. <br /><br />At times I put something away <br />Where it is safe, but, Gee! <br />The person it is safest from <br />Is, generally, me! <br /><br />When shopping I may see someone, <br />Say "Hi" and have a chat, <br />Then, when the person walks away <br />I ask myself, "who the hell was that?" <br /><br />Yes, my forgetter's getting better <br />While my rememberer is broke, <br />And it's driving me plumb crazy <br />And that isn't any joke. <br /><br />IF YOU CAN YOU RELATE TO THIS <br />Please send this to everyone you know <br />because I DON'T REMEMBER WHO I SENT IT TO!!!!

yeah, ROSS,,,my pop used to say that in the 1930's ,, the average good wage was 35 cents an hour.. an a loaf of bread costs 5 cents...<br /><br />so thats 7 loaves for an hours wage..<br /><br />heck,,i can buy 15 or so now for an hours wage..<br /><br />but for some reason ,, it was easier to make ends meet with that old wage in that old time... <br /><br />it's not the bread,, it's all the rest.. housings a killer... back then ,, 1 weeks pay ,,1 months shelter... now it's 2 goin' into the third weeks pay for housing..

Ryan, you sure do have good work ethic. You will go far with that. <br /><br />Matt.., I remember my first new car. I signed the papers and then on the way home was in such a daze, I almost ran over a curb. I never thought I could afford it, even though I needed it to get to work.<br /><br />The next time I had a feeling like that, was when I saw the truth in lending statement for the house I bought. When you see you pay more in interest than for the house, it throws you for a loop.<br /><br />Now it is second nature to sign the papers on cars, and refinancing the house. My biggest problem is I want to know that I can always make those payments and that my job and company are secure. <br /><br />The easiest money I signed for was student loans. You never see the money or the product. The hard part is when you get out of college and need to get a job that will let you afford groceries, housing, etc on top of a $750 a month student loan payment. I just paid them off finally last year after some deferrments for hard times.<br /><br />The best time to buy things like a boat are before the wife, house and kids.
