Re: Income not enough?

yes whatevah she a seh is yada yada yada


there is NO guarantee that she will make more after the degree (nobody nuh even know wah she a guh study) so therefore, she should not gamble with "their" savings which really are a "cushion" for emergency.

and if she guh full time the husband is going to resent her big time and it's all down hill from there.

that is too bad she study better that way, she need fi get ovah it.

she a look carefree and footloose life and har time fi do that long expire

Re: Income not enough?

Di grass is not always greener on the other side and sometimes people tend to exaggerate their success especially if the other person is not doing as well as they are.

Saying this, there is nothing wrong with being ambitious but it has to come from within, you have to be passionate about it. If you are doing it to compete with your friends, coworkers etc...then it might back fire.

I remember a story you told us about 2 sis, one who was doing "well" and the other was struggling....yet the one who was struggling was doing better financially.

Mi understand the husband's point of view, if she had approach him differently then maybe he would be more supportive providing he's not a moron. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

in ontario the median family income in pre tax dollars is about $68,000 a take home of $5000 a month would convert to a pre tax income of around $90,000 i think in ontario that would definitely be middle class.

Re: Income not enough?

I read a parable once that went something like this.

The king of a certain country was very unhappy and one of his advisors who couldn't understand why told him about the happiest man he had ever met, who happened to be a poor farmer living in a one room hut in a distant mountain village. This farmer labored everyday in his field and most of the time had only one meal a day, but was simply happy without knowing why.

the king who couldn't understand how someone could be so happy with so little, sent his servants to invite the man to the palace, in the hope that he would also learn to be happy.

The poor farmer was given a wonderful suite of rooms near to the king and was allowed to eat at the royal table. He who his whole life had only bathe in the river, could now bathe in a perfumed bath and cream himself with expensive creams and don clothes the likes of which he'd never seen before. It was a wonderful experience.

At the beginning of the visit the king was tickled by the new experience, but after a few weeks the novelty wore off and he was exactly so bored and unhappy as before, so after about three months he decided to send the farmer back home to his mountain village.

The farmer who had quickly gotten used to the luxury life was never ever happy again.

I am so sorry for that woman, who seem to think that what you have is what makes you happy and in her bid to satisfy her desire of keeping up with the friend is throwing her whole family into unhappiness. She is selfish.

If she wants to return to school she should do it in a way that won't destroy her family.

Re: Income not enough?

well the candidates here are trying to get the middle class votes and the analysts a try figure out who a middle class


it varies depending pan which part a the country yuh live and how much inna the family dem seh \0/

one family could have 2 parents 2 kids, house, cars, life & health insurance and investments whereas another family also considered middle class will have a same 2 parents, 2 kids but 1 car weh a travel pan the rim (dwl), a smaller house wid mortgage problems and little or no savings and barely any health insurance

some candidates think is above 95,000 and others think is under 95,000.
