The only people who are strapped for cash are those spending more than what they make.
Families with 3-6 kids used to be raised in a three bedroom house with one bathroom. One car in the driveway, a garden and Mom stayed at home. Takeout meals and restaurant meals were a luxury for special occasions. There was money put away and saved from each paycheque. No credit cards or debt except the house mortgage. Now we "Have to Have" a bedroom/bathroom/LCD screen TV for every child. Two 4X4's in the driveway, no food reserves for more than a week preserved and stored in the basement or freezer.A boat, ATV and snowmobile is "essential" too. So are the vacations via air travel too.So is the $1000+ BBQ, pool and or hot tub. The paycheque is gone and back account into overdraft within two days. Why is status so important? What is Status? Status is spending money you don't have on things you don't need to impress people you don't like.
Here's another quote that explains the problem as well as any. Quote"tlak

Unions have become a double edged sword. Imagine the work site conditions,employee pay and lifestyle without unions? Think present day China. Problem is union shops tend to fill up with unproductive "dead wood" that should be fired. If everybody was keen, worked and didn't want to claim lifetime disability for a "sore back". Union shops would be just fine.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
