Almost 3 years on and still not working full time

[goldtrapper]

Meat is getting so expensive,

So having meat is a treat,

Remember when mince and snags was oh so cheap...not anymore,

I have not worked for long time,

Because of health reason,

I get a small pension,

Still have to live fortnight to fortnight,

To be able to save is just about impossible,

When I did work I worked 3 jobs all at the same time,

Running myself into the ground,

Don't have any supper to look forward to,

For me and like a lot in the same boat, to buy prospecting gear is all most out of reach,

I am struggling,

At the end of the day you have to ask your self is this all worth it?

Goody

Remember to try and smile.

If your not coping please ring lifeline,

If you think your mate or a close friend has changed in anyway, ask are you OK,

Learn how to make home made snags. Buy an Aldi mincer and a cheap ebay sausage filler. Orange farm hardware supplies on the net supply casings and mixes and you can put ANY meat into them ad it will taste great! (I bet I could make Fox sausages and you would love them.lol) Make your own snags for $5kg or less. Buy pork shoulder etc when it's on special for $5kg and mix it with anything. Meat will last over 1 year in freezer if vac bagged in a cheap aldi vac bag machine. Heck even cheap freezer burnt meat is still ok to use in snags as a bulk filler. Lotsa of people will give you free older stored/frozen meat that is not up to the lifestyles of the rich and famous set!
Hope this helps.

Full time work is a becoming a myth these days. Its more casual full time. Im 34 and working 16 years. In that time i had one job that paid holidays and sick pay. Most work i do is contract so you work or don't get paid. I'm just glad I've got a job. People complaining that work is too hard but not working is harder in my eyes. Just glad the missus knows how to save money food wise. I feel for the older generation. So much experience and employees don't want them.
