Except for the fact you will be required to work 80 hours a week. You and the OP are both morons.

??? Do tell. The stock market is a choice to enter not mandatory. If your 401k lost money you had the option of choosing what funds your account associated with . Right?

Default Maybe temporary..

If needed, Or to save money for an important goal, Like a move or buying a vehicle. I did this myself at age 19 so I could pay rent and expenses and for schooling. it is taxing though, And the initial energy one may have will diminish as the lack of sleep and running around take their toll. This has become more common though since the recession. Many who got jobs had to settle for less income and little or no benefits. Especially tough if one has a family to care for.

There is a lot of bashing the unemployed on these forums, Esp over the last 2 weeks i have noticed. If you have had steady employment for many years, As I have you are fortunate. But keep this in mind: It is an employers market and things can change quickly. Humble yourselves.

If your balls itched sufficiently you would.
I don't believe that even in Oz it's acceptable to use "retard" in this context. You must have been raised quite badly. Get out of the sheep shearing pens once in a while and broaden your social horizons ...

Sometimes I feel like forwarding the responses from the unemployed to the United States Government. So they can have an idea of the mind set of the unemployed. My conclusion is the long term unemployed are either to lazy, to picky, or just want to sit around all day. I'm basing that comment on what I have read...

I am in rage...IF YOU HAVE TO WORK 80 hours A WEEK, YOU HAVE TO WORK 80 HOURS A WEEK. Surgeons work more than 80 HOURS A WEEK. Granted, they make really good money...but...with all their education they still work like madmen. I work close to 60 hours a week and sometime more. WOW!!! Some of you are ridiculous.

Hi, troll!

Nice to see you again, back here, bashing the unemployed as usual.

So, are you hiring people? Are you hiring people for multiple jobs that can fill up their work week? Are you hiring surgeons? No, you're not... and you still seem to be flat-out blind to the utter lack of jobs in this nation and the stupid hiring practices (no unemployed need apply, no old people, no overqualified people, etc.) Oh, but wait - you consider dog-walking for $20 a week a job, so yeah... you don't get it.

For something so simple you seem really bad at it.
