kids electric cars for 7 year olds image
Question M
So, how has technology advanced from 1963 to today? What is different and what is the same? What might we see from 2013 to 2063?
Answer
You do not know. We got electric in 1969. Some of the last on rule electrification. I seen my first computer in high school assembly. It was 18 inch's wide, 4 foot long, and 24 tall. In a wooden box. And could do some math. They said it was the future and we had a good laugh at that one. I bought my first hand held calculator in 1969. $20 buy the same today for $2. A days wages for one. In 5th grade a transistor radio was a hot Christmas gift. Few got one. Crews control in a car. Pull out the throttle cable and take your foot of the gas. In the 60s if you were willing to work you could always make out with a shovel and strong back. In truth the world changed in 1969,1970. I was very fortunate. Grandfather was the last blacksmith in the county. Hammer and forge man. And a good one.last of the horse wagons as well in towns, We seen the last of the old days pass away. In 1970 augers did the same work micro switch's for control, earning your way with a shovel died,we took the last mules to the tankage plant. As power skiders could get back in the swamp to log. And the world is changing again. What it will be I have no idea. But in high school I had no idea as well what today would be. I do know that after high school I only had 7 jobs were mules were involved. And we packed in our computers and solar cells to run them. I got those jobs because you young kids are dumb enough to walk behind a mule and don't think they bite at the other end. It has changed that much. From 1969 to today it became the electronic age. When I was in school if a show was on T.V they wanted you to watch. They made sure you could go to some ones house that had a T.V. I remember seeing my first color T.V. The color was so pale. And the sets so sensitive they had to be set in a vibration free area and dark room. But that technology created more jobs than they took. Expanding pros parity. To days technology does away with more jobs than it creates. And that I think is going to be a problem. The best will do well. I am retied now and hope I do not need to care about that. Because my skills are being rapidly out dated. Just like my grandfathers were. He was good,one of the best. But that way died with him. Today your a year out of the job market your skills are old fashion skills.

Can a family of 3 survive on just over 1300 a month?
Kodey
I, as of recently, have lost 95% of my hours at my part-time secondary job. My primary workplace however, is currently paying me $10.50/hr. I am now curious if myself, along with my fiance and 2-year-old daughter could survive off of the estimated 1300/month.
Currently, expenses that I can track (or estimate) are as follows:
Rent 540 (2bd 1b apt)
Electric 100-120 summers 50-80 winter
Gas 0 (included in rent)
Water 0 (also included in rent)
Car insurance 115
Groceries 300-350+
Fuel 120+
Toiletries 40+
I would also like to add that for the time being, I am currently receiving government assistance in the grocery department. I suppose that should be added to my monthly income. I would like to release myself from the assistance as soon as I am able to go without.
Long story short, 1550 a month is a better estimate for my monthly income at this point in time.
If my partner was to pick up a part-time job, I would then need a form of daycare for my 2 year old. Greatly increasing my monthly expenses. We are also working with just the one vehicle, bring the issue of limited transport into play. How could we counter this to improve our current state of living?
This is NET not GROSS if that makes any difference at all.
Answer
$1300 a month to play with (go with the pessimist view always so that you have "left-overs" to play with).
10% goes to long-term (retirement) savings: $130 a month. While you're in the crapper, make this 3% ($39) towards retirement and 7% ($91) towards your emergency fund.
15% goes to debt repayment/emergency fund: $195 a month that should be going to a regular savings account until you have at least 6 times your monthly income ($7800); in your case, you should just be aiming to save as much as you can beyond that amount.
35% goes to housing (rent, mortgage, bills, utilities, insurances, etc.): All-inclusive, you can afford under $455 a month, which means that you would be over-spending by $165; get more income to cover this gap.
15% goes to transportation (gas, insurance, repairs, bus): $195 a month, which you are over-spending by $40; more income to cover the gap.
25% goes to life (food, entertainment, clothing, gifts, travel, medical, wants, phone, internet, cable, other): $325 a month, or $81.25 a week. I suppose it depends on where you live, but I'm a young adult living on my own and that's what I can support myself on only.
So you need at least $205 extra every month to cover your gaps, and preferably a bit more than that so you can add some to life/savings.
What about the side-jobs? Tutor, baby-sit, pet-sit, house-sit, walk dogs, clean pools, weed gardens, mow lawns, shovel snow, rake leaves, clean houses, run errands for people, etc.
Your fiancé is staying home anyway to take care of your child, why doesn't she do a home-daycare? If she took care of one extra child five days a week and charged $25 per day, she'd be making $500 extra every month doing what she already does with your kid; not to mention she would have a play-date all the time.
