Tukaram (Tim) Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I moved over here at 48. So I got questioned quite a bit why I do not work. Not much by her family, but neighbors and Rotary club members. I would just smile and tell them 'I did work, I saved, and I retired. If I had any desire to work it would back in the US for a real paycheck.' I have learned to actually not care what most people think about me, Very few people have that control over me anymore. Especially smart assed neighbors. :tiphat: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 WHY do we let it bother us so much that We can but some can't ? Well. I don't bother about the lazy ones.But I feel sorry for them who are poor but do their best. It's very hard for poor without contacts to get any good CHANCE. It's a problem when they live in same household, because i don't want to assist the lazy ones anything. I was full of admiration for the founder of FB who has decided to give away 99% of his fortune to make the World a more peaceful place for his new born child to grow up in. You mean Zuckerberg (?) He is one of the bigest SCAMERS in the world.The IDEA was NOT his. He was HIRED by the idea makers to make the code. He agreed. Then he DIDN'T make it for THEM, but STOLE the idea instead. Then he needed a finansiere. When he didn't need him anymore, he screwed that business partner too... (But later he paid him to avoid to be found guilty to fraud.) So he is worth NOTHING of his billions, so I don't find it admirable at all even if he would give away all... For instance Percy Barnevik is a much better example. When he became CEO in ASEA Brown Bowery when it was struggling, he got a bohnus deal related to how much he could make the company profitable. He succeeded much better than expected so he got a HUGE bohnus. By that bohnus he could when he retired start the help-to-self-help organisation Hand-in-hand. (They had plan to start in Phils too, when I talked with them, but I don't know if it's started yet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever he has might of done he didn't achieve by sitting on his backside, maybe he is trying to make amends.... It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the gates of heaven....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is ok, Zuckerberg is atheist. He is not concerned with going to heaven. he is jut doing what he feels is right - because it is right. :tiphat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre13 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Great topic Jack, and one that most of us here deal with. I used to get annoyed with locals judging and assuming but I've grown thick skin and developed a sense of humor over it. My wife's younger cousins all USED to think I was a walking ATM....until my new tactics. I've had each of them stay at our house for a few days to let them see that living our lifestyle requires paying higher bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
