[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5813253, member: 24302"] I worked like everybody else. I didn't make poor choices, I just lived. I also helped my mother through all of that and in spite of a current $22k annual pension I give her $2400 a year. There's more to life than money. If you're happy with your choices good for you but I wouldn't trade my experiences during my working years or my dogs for more money now. In a few years I will live in a travel trailer in a RV park and be perfectly content with that. I don't need much and have never wanted much. If that drives you to have more then great. But don't assume that people who have less are not happy about it or live a miserable existence because they have less than you. My anger that I've expressed towards FedEx is because they lied to me. I never figured their pension was going to give me a comfortable life but I don't like anyone lying to me about what I would get while I'm working my ass off for them. And I was offered several times to go into management and I was used all the time to train other couriers. I wasn't interested in management because it meant living for a company that was inherently dishonest. So I did without and that's fine. [/QUOTE]
