Nice (NOT) to see nothing has changed in the job market since I left it 21 years ago. The internet influence did make it easier for employers to cherry pick prospects but the oppression in the work place is the same. For the most part I never lived pay check to pay check but then I never married or had kids and maybe that is why I did not have kids or get married.
I can only imagine how stifling today work environment must be.

I'm not rich but thankfully I do not live paycheck to paycheck. I would have to if I bought half the stuff others tell me I should buy. People want to control you even in the workplace and they resent that you seem more debt free.
