[...] Think of it this way, companies are now, more than ever, looking for ways to cut operating costs. I would suspect that this happens in Human Resources to determine the highest salaries in the given departments in the company. They have a meeting with each manager and ask, who has been doing a good job, who is the hardest worker and who would be hard to replace? Wouldn’t you think they would look at who is doing the best job? (Remember, that’s you!) Sometimes I feel that people tend to get too comfortable when they make a lot of money and that their job is always safe. As we’ve seen already, that hasn’t been the case. [...]

True, even though he wasn’t as responsible as he he should have been, he still shows passion to do whatever it takes. That is the part people should focus on.

Wow, this is shocking, frrom CEO to Pizza delivery guy! I think we can all learn from this.

I personally believe problem with many people is that they live way beyond their means, spending more than they actually make. I hope If we do get through this recession peoples spending habits change and become more careful with their spendings.

I do admire this man thou to do whatever it takes to feed his family.

I’ve been referring to this case in other comments of mine here in persuasive.net as if the roots of the current situation for Ken Karpman is his incompetence, but the reader can quickly understand that this is just my speculation I’ve used to illustrate my point. Since I don’t know nothing about Mr. Karpman and it’s beyond my expertise to judge his skills I can’t really say.

I’m aware there are a lot of aspects in such cases – it is not just someone’s skill and competence. Shit happens all the time – that’s just it and we gotta keep on. But sometimes falling down is actually a liberation.

Check out this story- this had happened in a very similar crisis – the Great Depression almost a century ago.

You are right, the more money you make, the more money you will spend (most of the time). Yet people with less incomes also spend money on what they can’t afford.

This story however was interesting because it was such a lucrative impact. The message someone should take is that one should learn about financial intelligence.

The more you earn,the more you spend your money every months.If you have a big income,of course you want to buy a Big house,nice car and travel anywhere.So,in this case,it is still the same with people who are have a low income.The difference is,their life is luxurious.Am I right?..

Right. I’m all about living a great lifestyle with money (you only live once…), but they’re are definitely limitations to spending habits, budgeting, etc.

Shocking….an eye opener for people who think that life is easy. A lesson to learn from Ken if you have money and are not froogle with it then you might loose it all.
