19. HEY DARRELL!

Wed Dec 12, 2012, 06:11 PM

Dec 2012

2009 I was fired in November. Found enough work that my 2010 earnings were a little over half of my 2009 earnings (which were 5/6 of my 2008 earnings). I was again fired in November of 2010. Found enough work that my 2011 earnings were a little under half of my 2009 earnings. The good news is that I remain employed and 2012 earnings will be a little over half of my 2009 earnings and this will be the first Christmas in 2 years that I have a job. I'm tapped out, savings is gone, driving a 10 year old vehicle, paying 2 different law firm collections agencies settlement payments on loans that were defaulted on so my credit is shit too. At 51 I'm effectively starting over.

With a little luck my 2013 earnings will exceed my 2008 earnings, knock on wood, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones because there are people who took harder hits than I did.

So you ignorant fuck, get back to me when the top tier is feeling my kind of pain from being taxed.
