Crap! ...............That is as bad as chain mail and I wont contribute one once of my time to such trash! I hate those " please send to at LEAST ten people thing" I delete those with joy in my heart for doing so. I don't believe in stupid luck, nor do I believe an Angel will bless me simply because I forwarded a Stupid Email.

Anyone my age and below in the US cant reach full retirement until the age of 70 now, 40 hour work weeks are the norm if not more overtime, and Vacation time in most cases is cut at two weeks, half of us do not get sick leave, so many of us don't get company funded healthcare, and these people are crying over 2 years added to their retirement??!!!!
Maybe I'm just jelous of their extra down time, I know I'm jelous that I only hope to live to be 70 to retire, so then I can work part time someplace to subplement my non existent social security check. Edited at: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 3:50:44 PM

Couldn't agree more - my son is 23 now - has one of those crippling debts u mentioned and cannae get a job anywhere! The chance of him getting housed is zero, mainly due to the amount of immigrants here - but thas another story - so i have this grumpy, unemployed lad with scads of qualifications going to waste...he HAS worked, but like u say - for peanuts...soon as he gets a job the government dock our benefits which we have to ask the boy to make up - is a no-win situation...

Apparently in the modern workplace, degrees/qualifications are essentially useless, so, after graduating from uni with little but a crippling student debt, you are expected to continue to live off parental charity until you have gained sufficient work experience to get a real job. (Of course, if you don't have a degree you will be 'underqualified' for anything bar mcdonalds).
It actually starts to make pension ages a little irrelevent, our generation will go from paying off our own debts to paying off our childrens (degree fees will be so high there is no earthly way they will be able to pay their own), so we will probably be working right up until they cart us straight from desk to nursing home.

Nobody actually 'employs' younger people anymore, they just take them on as interns for peanuts. Apparently in the modern workplace, degrees/qualifications are essentially useless, so, after graduating from uni with little but a crippling student debt, you are expected to continue to live off parental charity until you have gained sufficient work experience to get a real job. (Of course, if you don't have a degree you will be 'underqualified' for anything bar mcdonalds).
It actually starts to make pension ages a little irrelevent, our generation will go from paying off our own debts to paying off our childrens (degree fees will be so high there is no earthly way they will be able to pay their own), so we will probably be working right up until they cart us straight from desk to nursing home.

Riots in France for a week all because the government is going to raise retirement from 60 to 62. WTF!! They are allready spoiled enough. One month of Vacation time plus those additional National holidays, 35 hour mandated work weeks. They cry because they have to work two more years?
Anyone my age and below in the US cant reach full retirement until the age of 70 now, 40 hour work weeks are the norm if not more overtime, and Vacation time in most cases is cut at two weeks, half of us do not get sick leave, so many of us don't get company funded healthcare, and these people are crying over 2 years added to their retirement??!!!!
Maybe I'm just jelous of their extra down time, I know I'm jelous that I only hope to live to be 70 to retire, so then I can work part time someplace to subplement my non existent social security check. Edited at: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 3:50:44 PM

To be honest he didn't really do much in Detroit other than drive past lots of car manufacturers, LOL!

I saw a show last night about 1000 places to visit before you die. This episode was on Brazil. While nice in terms of scenery, the narrator's voice was distracting to the point of irritation. Perhaps nobody told him that they speak Portuguese? He couldn't even get the name "Rio de Janeiro" right. UGH!
