My husband (stb ex) has told me that his family got food stamps and welfare for the majority of his childhood.

What I don't understand, is if you grew up with no money, supposedly no food, ect - it seems like that would make you want to work harder and to have a better life than what you grew up with - but I've heard that is not how it works - my hubby is a excellent example.

He has a h.s. education - makes no effort to get any more job training, ect. He is incredibly wasteful with food, money,ect and what baffles me the most is his sense of entitlement - that everyone 'owes' him something.

I don't mean to generalize, but I can't help but think that this behavior is partly caused by getting 'handouts' for so long.

I am tired of supporting him. I make 2x the income that he does and he just takes it for granted.

what do y'all think?

I need help with this case study question:

Samson Electronics is the lastest entrant into the low-end digital camera market. Although its market share after its first year was less than 1%, the company is optimistic about its opportunities for future growth. The current problem resided in its high unit costs. First-year production costs for its 4-megapixel camera averaged $150; well above the unit cost necessary to sell in a market in which low-end cameras tend to sell for around $150. Second-year production costs fell to $140. Although the lower unit costs allowed the firm to meet the market pricewise, its profit contributions were not sufficient to cover fixed costs. Because its product lacked brand awareness, corporate headquarters believed further market penetration required setting a price below the competition. However, with current production costs hovering around $140, the managers wondered if it would be wise to charge a price below $140. What would you recommend?

My friend went out to America a while back and said the next time he goes he's taking a case of Tunnocks Caramels because he could make a fortune selling them.

Some say it was agriculture that made all this economic inequity possible. I think it was hired labor.
If the first job interviewee EVER in the history of man just stood up and said to the rich guy trying to hire him, "Oh, waaaaaah, so you have too much gold/food/pasture to keep track of it all yourself. Well you won't get ME to do it for minimum wage, no sir! You'll just have to unload some of it and make do with what YOU can handle!"
Then he would have picked up the rich man's excesses and become rich himself. But instead, he chose to work his *** off so some rich guy could laze around all day and pay him next to nothing.
I wish I had a time machine to go talk some sense into him. The bastard....

Ok that's my two cents. What do YOU think?

When the Gasoline prices first went up a few years ago, utilities costs skyrocketed and in some places is four times more than before the oil crunch. Why do utilities companies get away with keeping their prices at the sky-rocketed amount? Utilities sometimes cost more than rent now in America and some people just can't afford it. IT'S NOT RIGHT. What do you think?
