Employer’s increased use of credit check

[davelj]

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.

Would country’s finances benefit more from younger lower-paid workers that would replace retirees?

I just don’t understand the three things that happened over the past days. It’s just pretty amazing from a absurdity perspective.

1)Extension of unemployment benefits (not absurd in itself)…But then…
2)Companies trying to offer sketchy financing again to people who can’t afford things via traditional means
3)And soon to be lower interest rates for mortgages…

Can’t we at least earmark those unemployment benefits for use of necessities? I guess not..

My head is spinning… Oh well, wall street is up 200 points… I guess everything is fine…Move along 🙂
