It’s funny. I can’t imagine not working – even if I didn’t need the money. If I didn’t need to work, I think I’d spend my time doing volunteer work or trying to do something for the greater good. Of course, I’d have a lot of time for fun but I’m doing that while working full-time anyway.

Somehow, it seems like a lot of people in our country no longer feel this way and would rather be “taken care of”. That is sad for everyone. It seems like a lot of people have given up on themselves, in a way. I think abuse of programs like Social Security Disability, Section 8, and Welfare are a lot more common than Unemployment abuse – that’s just my perception from people I know about. I know people that are living off the dole and I don’t think they’re doing themselves a favor at all. They now feel not only entitled but dependent on the system. Sad.
