How can anyone guarantee a steady, uninterrupted income with raises throughout one's working career spanning 40 years?
For the past 5 years, I have worked in 6 contract jobs, but with the unfortunate economy, my contracts weren't always get renewed and I only work an average of 7 to 8 months a year with the rest of the time I was sitting at home with no EI or other supplementary income.
Others always say to me that with the "ridiculous" contract rates people are getting, people like me should have tons of money saved up in the bank. I want to ask how you can have any substantial savings when you are only working 6 months on, 3 months off for the last 5 years?
