[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4091976, member: 3099"] No it's definitely different now. I can't count the number of people I worked with who got in deep **** when they lost their overtime. Not the job, just the overtime. All the angst when they had to sell the boat, Harley, 3/4 diesel 4x4 with an 8" lift and most of the guns was epic. Some didn't and ended up losing their homes and then their wives. Contrast that to my grandfather who went through the great depression in the '30s. He learned then not to spend every dime you made and to put some back from every check. Always, always, always, even if it was only pocket change. Going without things you wanted was a fact of life. There was no social security, sick leave, or paid vacation. If you didn't work, you didn't eat. Now you go to McD's and pay with a credit card and pay later. Oh yea, they didn't have those either...
