I think most of you actually describe what you gonna teach your children while raising them...
If they are grown ups and still need to be told those simple things then you haven't gone a good job ...
dunno

You are talking about an 'age' ago and those times will never return. About 4 years ago we need a young lad to work and learn from our engineer, on posting an ad. on a facebook page a young lad of 17 said that £1000 a month live in all found was a small amount of money.

The reason that the cost of living in the UK is high l feel is that laziness has entered almost all areas of society and what people, mainly women, did in around the mid 70's has caused much of this, it put many out of work too.


It's not laziness, it's desire it's a matter of people's expectations. In Britain and America we prematurely acted as tho the robots were doing all of the real work and we all thought that meant we could be journalists and fashion designers.

Where the advanced economy is maybe 30% spurious job we were behaving as though that figure was more like 50-60%. in 2007 we were behaving like it was 2027.

It's a case of innappropriate skills and unrealistic ambitions.

Anyway the cost of living is a problem for three main reasons: the few people wise enough to do the proper jobs are massively overpaid for doing them and nobody's now prepared to invest in retraining, there's a housing shortage, and wages and salaries are a failing mechanism to dsitribute wealth due to automation and globalisation(earning money doesn't make money, only having money makes money).

One2note: It can be anything from future relationships to career advice.


ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS!

If you DON'T believe in ANYTHING ELSE, BELIEVE in yourself!

Believe in yourself, and you're halfway there!

Better an "OPPS!" now, than a "What if ...", later!

DON'T WAIT for the storm to stop! Learn to dance in the rain!

Don't grow up! It's a trap!

Don't let anyone take up residence in your head, UNLESS they're a CONTRIBUTING tenent!

Get off the couch! (Quit watching TV!) LIFE is NOT a spectator sport!

When you're going through hell, KEEP GOING!

It NEVER get's any easier! YOU just get BETTER!

NOTHING enhances your appearance MORE than a Smile!

The ONLY person you should be in competition with, is the YOU of YESTERDAY!

There are NO dress rehearsals for life!

Those who AREN'T busy living, ARE busy dying!

When things go wrong, DON'T go with them!

And, LAST, but NOT least, "You can GIVE without loving, but you CAN'T LOVE without giving!

If one of you mutts will explain to me how you can paste pictures/images on/in these forum pages, I could paste my images here, instead of just QUOTING this stuff! Can I get a LITTLE help, PLEASE!?
