    Money? Lack thereof

    Fear of being let go at work?

    Your future?

    Sick family member?

    Life pressures?

    Im sure mine are no different than others here, finances have take somewhat of a pounding, but on the other hand ive great fiance so im probably happier than ever on that front... and no - the 2 situations are not linked :D

    What worries you? Is it the same thing that has worried you before the recession as it is now?

    My Dads well being, the worry that the halfwits in Leinster house will decide to skim/scam more off my pay, making it impossible to live, and the threat of job cuts.

    With a big drop in hubbys wages 15%,levys etc money would have to be a big problem,and his job depends a lot on good summer,s(weather)and the last two years have not been great putting extra pressure on the buisness.If this summer is like the last two he will most likely be out of work by sep.

    I'm mostly worried about piranhas. Did you see that movie where they send a nuclear submarine to fight the piranhas, and one of them swims right down the periscope and bites the guy in the eye, and he goes, "Aah! Aah! Aah!", and that old lady told him it would happen?

    Nothing really worries me. Im not sure why. My only arguement against it is; that theres fück all use worrying. It has no benefit.

    Pretty much all five... Although mainly the fourth: my father's not great and not being in the country doen't help.

    The financial aspects don't bother me as much any more. I'm relatively happy and don't need much anyway.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Boards.ie goes belly-up due to the Great Recession, and I go into post-withdrawal syndrome!:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,813 ✭✭✭TPD


    Tests coming up, and I'm not really too worried about them. Always realise after that it wasn't as bad as i'd imagined, so I no longer imagine them being hard. Works suprisingly well.

    As for the recession thing - what recession? Still getting the same grant and at the same level of pay this time last year.
