[Numb3r4]

I cant understand how so many people loosing jobs and so many people dont have money but place like steel ram out on a weekend. Ain't even have place to sit and people buying all kinda expensive drinks I wont even think to purchase.

Serious question what was the crowd like in the surrounding plaza itself and the carpark was that too also busy/filled or were things/activities isolated to the restaurant?

[trinidrift]

No the plaza along with c3 and gulf are packed no matter what day or time you go

[hydroep]

Those who have lost jobs and still living large probably have money...in savings. When that is spent reality will hit them hard.

Others presumably are teachers or have "safe" permanent Government jobs. Dem so could coast because even those on the breadline will be financing public servants' lifestyles every time they pay VAT, property tax etc. ...

[nervewrecker]

I was a public servant. No way that salary buying 2 and 3 bottle of moet.

image, it's about the image... places ram out but many have the same mindset as the government... oil prices will increase and we make a money

[Monkey Man]

i tellen ollur money spennin out here.

trinis have a different set of priorities.

temp men take big loan to buy Hyundai suv and post up on the 'gram "blessed' & "life is good"
i mean is their money and they could do what they want. but given the situation, my priorities would have been different.

[tr1ad]

correct... and after my time home, everything that can, will go into savings...

[trinidrift]

I agree too. After now being back out to work after almost a year home I have cut my expenses down drastically and whatever could be saved would be and also looking for something on the side whenever I get to be home helps out

[Redman]

Same here-my hard times showed (showing) me how much I can do without, how much I wasted on things I thought I 'needed'

now-I feel like a fool while thinking of some of the choices made.

do over...I wasnt ready, lol

[tr1ad]

boy right now i feel the van need some injector / diesel pump work and i holding off

[Cantmis]

Juniper online have no fear

[widdyphuck]

Diversify your skill set by ANY means necessary....Monkey Man is right this is the time for action.

Try selling house wares or such, not clothes tend to go out of style and you may have dead stock, small utilitarian things....

If you live in a safe area consider bar and/or grill, food and food prep is big these days, also these are things that can be opened after 5-6pm in the day allowing you to work a steady job and then come home and run it.

It have no safe area in Trinidad anymore.

[Numb3r4]

You could try moving to Tobago and trying something.

[widdyphuck]

I agree too. After now being back out to work after almost a year home I have cut my expenses down drastically and whatever could be saved would be and also looking for something on the side whenever I get to be home helps out

Keep an eye out. ipsl might have vacancies if juniper have enough gas to give them methanol plants. Who knows, they might want to start them back up.
