First being of course growing up where all I had to worry bout was studying in school and getting good grades. All four grandparents were alive. Grandma & grandpa teaching sis and I to dance the polka to Lawrence Welk. Then as I got older going up to other grandma's and sitting for hours talking and talking (I miss those days). Then the good old days were when I joined the Army and became independent. Doing what I wanted when I wanted. Good old days after that was being an Army wife working for the education center in Germany making $6.10 an hour and hitting all the factories (crystal, porcelain, you name it) still with over 1/2 my paycheck to bank, going out to a german restaurant and getting a huge meal with drinks all night for about $5.00. Buying an Audi for about $8,000. Traveling all over Europe, Greece, Spain for what seemed like pennies. Came back to the US and it seemed to go downhill from there. I did start MTing in 1989. Good days then was when we had two incomes. Now I'm grateful for my job. I love it. Work at home for 2 different companies but keeps me busy from 7am til 10pm with breaks in between. Only one income so am grateful to work at home where we only spend $10 a month for gas and I don't have to maintain a "working" wardrobe. I'm grateful for what I have but it is very depressing to see everything sky rocket. What used to cost me $100 a week for groceries I'm now spending around $200. So while I am grateful for what I do have I sure do miss the good old days. |
