Write a book Appy. How to Prosper on $9 an HourAppaholic wrote:Why is it a cop out? Because it requires you accepting a burden for one of your pet causes? I think all animals should be given homes to live, there should be mandated neutering and spaying of animals and no kill shelters. However, I don't expect others to have a mandated amount taken from their paycheck so animals could live a certain way I deem appropriate. You're mandated care makes them wards of the state. And I don't think they've all made some glorious mistake, I just happen to be fine with the idea that not all people live at the same levels as mandated by the state.Cap'n Cat wrote:

Re: New Game For Conks: SPENT - Living On $9 An Hour!
Without actually getting into it I would imagine the game assumes a 40 hour work week.
Just about every successful person I know works way more than 40 hours... heck, I work 70+ hours a week because it is MY business, MY reputation, MY career, MY family, MY income, MY legacy. Therefore, I want and will have the best for all those "my's."
People tend to reap what they sow... just like in sports, those who truly put in the work and do right succeed, those who don't complain about those who do.

We're what you want, App - "private' entities that can and do provide vital/expensive services at a fraction of what the government can, thus reducing your tax burden.

Re: New Game For Conks: SPENT - Living On $9 An Hour!
Well, we shouldn't expect those making $9 an hour to give up a work/life balance to try and get ahead, blueballs. Especially when they can keep getting a handout from those of us who haven't worked less than 60 hours a week in 20 years.blueballs wrote:Without actually getting into it I would imagine the game assumes a 40 hour work week.

Re: New Game For Conks: SPENT - Living On $9 An Hour!
My kid joined the program, mom got $100, I gave $20 to a coworker, bought groceries, had to pay $100 to fix a window, got on food stamps, had to move, fix my tooth. At the end I had $815 (but rent is due the next day and that was $760)Appaholic wrote:That's pretty cool. I allowed my kid to play ball & join the gifted program at school. Unfortuantely, I had to ask a friend to take the dog. I was left with $690 at end of month which isn't far from the disposable income I currently have at end of month. So what's the problem?

His POINT, which you whiffed at, was that this program ASSUMES only 40 hours per week....there'd be a lot more money coming in if it were realistic and calculated income at 60-70 hours/week.

Re: New Game For Conks: SPENT - Living On $9 An Hour!
Made it through the second time with $529 to spare. Gave the dog to the pound, put the kid in the gifted progam, lived on hotdogs, spaghetti and top ramen, left my kid in the free lunch program, skipped out on the free concert and used free wi-fi at the public library. Opted out of healthcare early on in the process, but I was in a temp admin job anyways so it isn't something that would be offered to a temp.
