Would you say you are still hurting from the current economy?

[danmo783]

I'm just saying you can make more money... yes, sitting in a chair goofing off is way easier and fun, but if I had a $100,000 job, I'd be sending you all a goodbye right now.

I would say  all Seniors are hurting  from the current economy, they have only had 2 measley  1.5 percent increase in the whole 8 years, but congress has had large raises.  Now Obama is wanting to meddle with social Security  and our medicare. It is not bad enough that they are taking Medcaid out of it but now this. If all of the democrates that have taken money out of medicare had to pay back what they have IOUed us for we would be in better shape.  Can't wait to have a new president and not hillary.

In one way I'm recovering and doing better for myself than ever. But I'm a mother of 3 kids.  And lacking going on 3rd year of no child support.... In that respect I'm stlll taking a hit... coincidentally we divorced the same time the economy collapsed.

[lhz123]

yes, but slowly picking it up and just building more.

[clickers]

it's somewhat better now. In 2008 everything was at a standstill, now I can see things moving along slowly.

[jenniferhoder]

Not really but I could always use more extra money!

[nannycoe1]

Yes very much. Groceries and medicine are a big problem every month

Yes my family and I are still recovering from it.  We actually had to do bankruptcy at the high of it.  Little by little we have gotten back on our feet but still not able to save $$, my savings goes to $0 at the end of every pay check, I do not have enough time to spend hours on on Fusion cash, so I get cashout every other month, and it helps but not enough ot quit my job.  As a government contractor I could be let go anytime and that will be horrible for me.

Oldbuddy you better worry if Trump get elected, he will cut you SS and Medicare.  Believe me he is for the rich just like him and he won't give a hoot to people on SS.  People just stay prayed up.  My family and I are doing much better, my daughter and her family had to move in with us a couple of years ago and stayed almost two years, but they have moved to their home and doing fine.  My son also had to move in with his wife family for a year or two, but thanks to the economy getting better they too have moved out into a home.  Both my children are college graduate, so I day no I am not hurting, but who knows what's next.  I just pray it won't be Trump!!

[catherinedwhite]

Yes, still hurting. It seems almost impossible to get ahead. Property taxes, property insurance, car insurance, health insurance, taxes, taxes and more taxes! UGH

[gsdoss]

Yes and no Social Security no raise for 2 years but make extra on Fusion Cash

I have participated in 15 Presidential Elections so far and every one of them is rampant with people blowing smoke out their rear and doomsday predictions galore, but I am still here and happy. The truth is, the President is not a dictator in the United States and he has less control than we do. Right now people on SSI and Medicare are more powerful than you imagine and will keep growing for the near future (at least as long as I need to worry about), as long as we keep voting for people who don't give the farm away, without knowing where the money is going to come from to pay for it.

I'd say anyone using their time on FusionCash is hurting from the economy... You could make that monthly FC check faster by having a lemonade stand on the weekend...

Not everyone on here is broke or collecting pennies to pay their mortgage. Nor are people on here looking to pay their car bill by clicking for pennies.

FC is a way to supplement your income by paying a bill or two while doing simple things online from the comfort of your home.

Those who want to make the bigger bucks (and yes you can make as much as job) get referrals. Referrals are where the money is made - period.

For those that want more money and/or feel they would do better at a lemonade stand, then you need the things the bring about the bigger cash on FC - and that's referrals. Otherwise there's no since in complaining if you're not willing to help yourself make more money.

I agree with you.  Yes, but not as bad as I use to be.  Still in a dead end job because of it all.

[dwggs]
