Reply #175: What a cretin.

I'm not poor (yet) (thank Goddess), but I've worked very hard and I'm two paychecks away from total disaster. I don't take out of town vacations, I don't own a car and, due to vision problems, I don't drive any more either. When I came down here I didn't have enough money and I didn't make enough money, and I'm still climbing may way out of the debt I piled up those early years.

Some people are incredibly lucky in life and believe that they earned their good fortune. I get discount vouchers for the movies. My concert tonight cost $20. I know a lot of people who have it much worse.

In my line of work, as soon as I leave a major metropolitan area, my income is reduced by 1/2 to 2/3. That's why I came here in the first place.

Arrgh.
