Bunch of jealous whiners

[jaycee]

Well that makes sense, people live within a system, then all of a sudden, someone turns it upside down and that someone has been known to be untrustowrthy in their motives before... In Australia we have multiple threads on investment property forums asking about how their high incomes affect their entitlements to centrelink payments.

How does a pensioner go on strike ?

stop writing letters to the editor
stop calling alan jones
drive faster than 40kph, and stick to the left lane
purchase real meat rather than dog food

So you don't like pensioners.

My brother-in-law is Italian, living in Australia for 30 years now, aged mid 60s. His three adult children live and work there and brothers and sisters and their children, so he keeps up-to-date.

He tells us that public servants in Italy have only to work ten years before being eligible for a full pension, even if they may only be 30 when they leave that employment.

He also says they can then go to a different job and that employer will pay a pension (after a certain time?). He says there are people raking in three pensions (or more?).

My grandmother before passing away was being paid by the government:

- her agricultural pension
- her deceased hunsbands agricultural pension
- her deceased hunsbands war pension

on top off any work she undertook.

After reading this article and the comments the amount of whining, jealous complaining and essentially praying for people who have worked hard to fail is getting really ridiculous.

The reason why Knockers knock is because, some how in their twisted minds, it's the only way they can justify why they cant be bothered to get off their own asses and doing something constructive for themselves.

They dont like seeing other people get ahead so they try and pull those people back down to where they are in an effort to make themselves appear not as bad as they really are.

They are lazy with the world owes them a living attitude and if it took any physical effort on their part moving from today into tomorrow they all would be living in yesterday and most still are!

Your dad sure had it tough. I can only guess from your post that your dad spent money rather than invested? If so, I could understand why.

My brother in law is an oncologist and he has a similar view of money - enjoy it now while you can. He sees many people whose time has been cut short by illness - but perhaps that is a topic for a separate thread.

Regards Jason.

so true. I know the same scenarios through personal friends and family. The neurologist grandfather ho wont drive longdistances without a helmet, the O&G specialist who's seen enough trauma in natural births to not want kids or have a ceasar.

Experience combined with belief is a very defining and powerful motivator or detractor.

Hmmm, I know a few of these people that used to be friends. According to them I'm now stuck up, selfish and have my head up my (well you can guess).

You live and learn. Funny it correlates with me now having higher standards, goals and not enabling the above behaviours.
