+w35t51d369 i keep saying that and i get told off that there's no such thing as luck or this guy needs to grow some balls or go out and grab the world by the horns and all the other fucking meaningless cliches.
@@apple_cider1207 Sorry, Apple, but there's no such thing as luck, this guy needs to grow some balls, go out and grab the world by the horns. I started at the bottom of the food chain. HD diploma, no money and a family that could barely support themselves. I kicked around a couple of years and joined the Army to learn a skill. 7 years later got out as a Warrant Officer flying helicopters with a good skill, no debt, GI Bill for college (never used it), and used that skill to work around the world for 38 years retiring in Europe. I reached a mgmt level where others had MBAs and higher. Did it by coming into work earlier than most, studying the industry at home in the evenings, volunteering to serve on industry committees and boards of directors of industry assns. Not by whining on youTube how tough the world is. Granted it'll be a bit harder at 60 than it would have been at 20 or 25 but people do it everyday. Last summer I helped a long time friend put together a business that will support her and her child from now on. It'll take a bit of work on her part but by mid year she should be making between $2K-$3K/mo and could easily double that by this time next year. People rise above their raisin' every day.
All people should save there money. When they do have a job. No credit cards . People are living paycheck to paycheck. But have to save too. Any amount. It's not what you make.its,what did you save. Live below your means. Use coupons, save, save, save. If you are poor don't have children right away. Going to college get yourself a skill. Get Married then have children. Then you and your children have a brighter future and a husband that loves you. Not a boyfriend who can leave with 10 kids and walk. You have nothing then. Men need to be held a countable. Women are not doing that. They are setting themselves up for a fall. Dave Ramsey is on person you should check out on your finances and life.
They're both Associate Degrees. I got one of those taking CLEP and a few end of course tests for free while in the Army. No classes or school work. Just study a guide for a few days and go in to take the test. Don't even put it on my resume as it was just to get a military requirement filled. And from the looks of it doesn't appear he's done anything since to enhance his desirability to employers.
Joe was 60 eight years ago. He is 68 now. How are you doing Joe? I hope you are making out ok...and I hope everyone who watches this video is doing ok. All the best to all of us! 🌞🌻
Most middle class Americans are in the same shape as this guy. A sign of the times as the world economy goes for shit. The more they tell you how better the economy is getting the worse it gets.
Agreed, most middle class American look like they are living better now because they purchased a bunch of crap on debt, but once the economy turns they will also be homeless because they really own nothing.
@@FirstLast-nh6goI Its now January 2019 and there is a massive Government Shut down. Its only been a month since it started and workers are quitting in droves cause they can't survive more than a month with out that pay check. This shows the best picture of the average person situation.
On one hand that's a good idea if you choose the right people, and of course on the other hand you could be letting a pack of demons up in your house! Too many horror stories I've seen from Judge Judy and Judge Mathis
0:22 sounded like the job that I was training for and lost in 2003, the small magazine company folded right on the last day of my training as an administrative assistant! Oh... My... Goodness! Those ladies were crying and falling all over each other and I'm sitting there like what just happened Oh, you mean this is not a prank the magazine is shutting its doors today?? These women were boohoo and and crying so hard I just got my purse and said I was so sorry for everybody, and left immediately at 12 p.m. one of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had! Just like this man said it was like the light switch flipped and everything went straight off the cliff. 😵 when I called my husband at work and told him the job went kaput he did not believe me right away, only thing he said was DA##!!!!!! 😣
This is why you save money and diversify. Buy SFH rental properties. Keep large amounts of cash for emergencies. Too many Americans blow money when times are good. Nothing lasts forever. Have a reserve and other streams of income.
An associate degree which there is no such diploma is just half the credits of what a full undergraduate degree is. When I graduated it was about 148 credits. I don't get it why just go half way?
yes I say that on my blog, but I predict myself and many poor wont make it past 55 to60. fine by me; I earn 8646 annually and go hungry regularly. I'll never own a home
Anyone under 35 shouldn't comment, because you have no idea what it's like to be highly educated, highly experienced, highly motivated.....but unemployed because of age discrimination. It's a kick in the guts to be laid off and considered washed up at 45 or 50 years of age, with kids to send to college and bills to pay.
mookixox...Oh really?...The REPUBLICAN PARTY has spent the last 60 years systematically destroying the Labor Unions in America and that's why we have 47 million people on Food Stamps.
We seem to be living in a time where the unemployed cry there are no more good jobs and at the same time the employers cry they can't find good people for the job openings they have. How on Earth is it possible to have both of those problems at the same time. I got my last job and one of my best jobs at age 58. I got let go from a job when I was in my 40s and I was told by the unemployment office that I would not be required to look for work to qualify for my unemployment benefits because I was at an age where I was not likely to find work. One week later I was employed. You can't just sit around and wait for a job to come to you. You have to go looking for it. If you are unemployed you take the first job you can find. It's easier for you to get one of the "good jobs" if you already have a job.
I think it's because employers are too demanding. Like, they don't just want good workers. They, well, where I live at least, want you to speak fluent Spanish and have a bachelor degree to be a receptionist. Not really kidding, either. I don't know why they do this although I think it may have something to do with wage increases. So the employers are demanding more to keep an employee. Getting a job is easier than keeping one.
+ExplodingScience Listen to him and you will find out. By putting a tariff on all products made in china\mexico etc the prices on these will become much higher and people will most likely start buying made in US products instead since the price is the same.
lozry Never going to happen. A lot of US economy is based on Asian manufacturing. Trump is not going to screw over his business friends(or himself) by making it harder for them to import goods made by cheap labor.
Or Walmart checking people's bags before they go out the door to make sure they're not stealing stuff. Or a donor greeter at Goodwill, or a food bank worker or volunteer if he wants to give back to his community to keep busy and from being lonely and going crazy.
I worry about age discrimination.
Wow, just shows you how lucky you are to have the basics.

these comments are so stupid im laughing....Hes obviously blind lol.
@Dumitru Benes yeah he's doing a fantastic job I can't recognize him either, besides the fact I've never seen that man in my entire life!🤣😂😆
That is very correct. I am so concerned about our mid aged people. They cannot receive benefits. So, basically they fall to a major change.
People in America need to make a conscious decision to buy "made in America" products and manufacturing jobs will increase.
too expensive
the problem is 99% of stuff is made in china
2 problems in that idea 1) where to find made in us products 2) made in us products will be 10 times more expensive than made in China products.
Support small business.

His name is not Joe his name is Richard Harrison and he owns a Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. He works there with is son, grandson, and a dude named Chumley.
If you have a house rent out rooms to make income before you lose the house.
On one hand that's a good idea if you choose the right people, and of course on the other hand you could be letting a pack of demons up in your house! Too many horror stories I've seen from Judge Judy and Judge Mathis
Hey Joe, I know it's you behind those glasses.
The American dream, eh
Haha!
Much more than 8 million if you go back to the pre-1994 statistical methods that count long-term discouraged workers.
Well Good Luck to Joe

Must be imitating one of the Blues Brothers.
At least U look younger than 60......
Age discrimination should be illegal and it's treated like it's legal all the time.
Any updates?
That's why Dave Ramsey says to pay off your home early.
Says the man with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Yep I agree
Yes, but you have to make enough to do that with.
Sad...

Never quit your job to care for your Mom. working people need their job, as long as they can keep it.

He forgot to Thank the Democrats for his situation!
Oh please. This clown is a democrat's dream poster child. Someone who can't adapt and figure other ways to make an income.
You clowns just don't get it.
