We had our taxes done yesterday and we were talking to our accountant after...
He said he has at least one client a day who has lost their job, and about 3 clients a week who have lost their homes.

These are some scary times we are living in.

3. It's a lot like the war, I think
For some people it's not real until you learn how it's affecting people you know and then all of a sudden you realize that it's not just a story in the paper.

6. Well, he does our taxes -- that's all.
It's not like we need one to manage our money...day to day living seems to take care of that!
