[quote=jstoesz]Could I charge my wife to live in our house 1400 dollars of sweet section 8 money? That sounds like a great scam.

Is this friend your partner, that is the real question.[/quote]

Hmmm….maybe. Your wife would have to qualify for Section 8. Your income would likely make her ineligible.

Years ago when I looked into this, you could definitely do that. You have to get approved by Section 8 first. They come to your house and see if everything is in order: electric, phone jacks, safety stuff. However, Section 8 only pays a portion of the rent. For instance, if Section 8 states they will pay $1400 for a 3 bedroom unit, then that is all they will pay. If your unit could rent for $1800, then you either take the hit or sign lease with the tenant for the difference.

Heh, heh…and I thought I was the odd woman out! I have a prepaid Tracfone, which my friend has labeled as “vintage.” It makes calls and can text message. No fancy apps, or other bells and whistles.

I use it for emergencies (very rare), and like others mentioned, calling home when at the grocery store, and while on travel. The problem with not using it much, is I forget to charge it, and then when I need it—I can’t use it! When it does ring, I can’t find it in my purse, or inadvertently hang up on the caller.

I did buy a new Tracfone, and then returned it. The new phones are crappy, so I decided to stick with the “vintage” one that still works fine.

Ever notice how airports are filled with people either doing things on phones, or talking on phones? What is so important I wonder? How can you do business while in an airport which is so chaotic?

Some months ago, I attended a Grand Opening Party at a hair salon. There was a DJ and the crowd was mostly hip 20 somethings. Most of them were on their phones texting and what not. I wondered why they went to a party, where there were others to meet, and spent the time on the phone?

I can tell you that cell phones and domestic violence have a direct correlation. They throw them, find each other’s text messages, break them, grab them from each other, demand to know who is calling, check each other’s phone bills, even use some cell phone tracking device to see where the spouse is. The guys get naked photos from other females and/or porn sites, the girls have text messaging relationships. When they argue, and one spouse won’t respond, the other spouse texts them in the SAME house! Even the same room! The girls text message next door neighbors and have ongoing dramas.

[quote=paramount]This year the only choice we have is Cigna; all other options have been dropped.

So just to review, in the last 2 years I have lost the following:

1. My pension
2. 401k cut by 50%
3. Vacation time cut
4. Lost all sick time
5. Lost holidays (including July 4th)
6. And now choice in Healthcare

But oh yes, were supposed to be happy to have a job.

Meanwhile, public sector workers live in a fairy tale world of high pay and benefits including golden pensions and lifetime benefits.

We’ve been duped into thinking unions are bad; if I was union my employer wouldn’t be getting away with stripping our benefits without a fight.

Sooner or later I’ll wise up and walk away from my house.[/quote]

Paramount—that is just horrible! Those are huge losses in such a short time. I would have a hard time being positive at work, after being cut like that. Can you find another job with better benefits?

As for me, payments only went up $6 bucks a month. Everything else stayed the same–copays, $30, etc. However, next year, I am waiting for the shoe to drop.
