I still think my McD's argument was valid

haha that reminds me of my Mrs.. She always says that if she dies in debt, then she has made a profit.. Although it's funny in theory, the reality of it it quite serious..

Especially if you dont die first.

My workers are expecting a pay rise next month, and im at a loss on what to give them.

The moaning workers have already said they want 5% because of inflation, but im thinking more of the lines of 2.5%, due to us being pretty quiet over the summer and not knowing how things will turn out.

Well I work for an investment company, so it has had it's effects here.

What I do know is that smart money is starting to return ever so slowly to the credit markets, so things may be on the mend. On the other hand a raft of defaults is all we need to break things properly (see Fannie and Freddy).

Lots of jobs have gone and are going in this line of work.

Head down, keep job!

It's all a big ploy to push wages down, mark my words!

And if the housing market adjusts itself to reasonable levels and builders are no longer on several K a week, then that's just fine with me

I think you should just walk to work

Drink less beer and stop buying filthy mags and we'd be well off then

McD's breakfasts have gone up a lot in the last 8 years

From 99p to £1.59.

We are feeling the cost of inflation at home with ever rising fuel and food costs. As for the credit crunch, we don't have that much on credit and nothing on HP. Luckily(tongue very firmly in cheek) i wasn't very good with money a few years ago and my credit rating isn't that good at all. As such we don't have an overdraught or a lot of credit on credit cards. So we really live within our means
