Employer’s increased use of credit check

[CBad]

The last company I worked for did a credit check when I was hired in ’07. They mailed me a copy of my entire background check and I was pretty surprised at how thorough it was.

Only for you, though. Sudden mass frugality would collapse demand and lead to more job losses, which could be you. Frugality is only good for a small few.[/quote]

Yes, so spend like crazy,do some MEW too – oh wait isn’t that what got us into this mess? All roads DO lead to perdition then…

It’s not sudden for me… I’ve been frugal (some would say cheap) for decades. I plan on spending like crazy in my retirement (travel)… but first I have to go through the decades of being cheap – saving for that retirement.

I guess the only reason I “save” is for some unexpected, amazingly expensive emergency – so, it’s a security/sleep-at-night issue. I have no intentions of “retiring” before I’m senile because I really enjoy what I do and should be able to do it until I get close to dying (whenever that might be). Now, I’ll probably have to scale back at some point, but…

If you enjoy what you do and plan on doing it until you’re practically in the grave, “saving for retirement” isn’t really a big issue. More folks should plan on working well into their 70s given our country’s finances.
