How can you afford it?

After being away several months, I notice many of the same faces are still spending all day posting, despite their assurances that they work. One even spent a whole day waiting until 5.30 pm before posting just to prove she is employed!!! (only people unemployed or on benefits for years would assume the average work day is still from Nine-to-Five LOL!)

 

My question is, how do you afford to be here so much? Do you live off savings, an inheritance, divorce settlement, or do you simply chat from a library or a second hand notebook on limited internet usage?

 

To get a decent computer costs at least $2000 and without good internet connection, chatting on a forum isn't even worth it, so are these regulars going into debt over the boards? Would a bank even loan or credit them enough to supplement their activites and time usage here?

 

It's all very puzzling...

I have reconsidered, your attitude and outlook are starting to grow on me 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Well, I work from home but really, my husband keeps me in the manner I have become accustomed to.............my pc is in my sewing room................ I do sometimes use my mobile device but rarely................

what about you, OP?


LOL azureline, I already know that. I can tell you've been a hard worker all your life, mainly working in your family businesses I bet but doing your part for the company. Also, while you are often here when I post you are not a compulsive poster nor are you a fibber. You are at retirement age but have a full life filled with hubby, kids, grandkids I bet and an active social life.

 

Your whole life isn't the boards nor are you like some who profess to not be here when they are all the time.

 

My story to come...
