Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Has anyone ever made a Costco run and spent less than $100?[/quote]
Only on rare occasion.
And I skipped the wine/booze sections those times. 😉Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Has anyone ever made a Costco run and spent less than $100?[/quote]

IMHO, if you indulge your wife or your kids, they will become whiny and always ask things of you instead of doing themselves.[/quote]IMO if you take parenting or marriage advice from a single guy, you deserve what you get.
And if you’re talking about whiny spouses who expect to be indulged, you married the wrong person.
No offense, Brian… but you lack a certain credibility.

ParticipantSure I see the humor in all of that.
But seriously – iPads are a big enough expense that unless you are wealthy, you probably should consult your spouse.
Our household rule of thumb is no purchases over $200 without at least a mention to the spouse. An iPad would qualify.
You’re single, you are the only one making claims on your money. It’s different when you’re balancing the needs of more than one person on a budget.

Participant[quote=paramount][quote=permabear][quote=paramount]There are two (2) types of workers in California:
1. Gov’t Workers = Tax Takers
2. Private Sector Workers = Tax Payers
Source: John and Ken[/quote]What about the fact that public workers pay taxes?[/quote]
I’ll try and make this really easy:
Government workers don’t really pay taxes, all they do is return a portion of the taxpayer dollars originally generated in the private sector.
Private Sector = Makers
Public Sector = Takers
“Remember, people who work for the Government don’t pay taxes, the people in the private sector pay their taxes for them, because every dollar in the Government Worker’s paycheck, came from a Private Sector Taxpayer. The next time you hear a Government Worker say “I pay my Taxes too”, tell them, “No you don’t, I do, because every dollar you have came from me.”[/quote]
What about defense contractors. They’re salaries come directly from taxpayer dollars. Are they different than say an employee at the office that issues building permits and does building inspections? You can argue that both add value. We need building inspectors to make sure construction is done to code. We need defense contractors to build the tomahawk missiles we just lobbed into Libya.
I worked for a defense contractor as my first job out of college. My salary came from a private sector company (Cubic) but was directly billable to the government. Was I a “taker”?
