Well, Greg, how quickly things change. I noticed yesterday that I, too, am in financial ruin, having amassed $10,000 in credit card debt, just when I thought I was down to $5,000. One bill keeps rising with the late payment fees and the interest, and I seem to be paying $100/month to keep it the same.
But I am still sitting here, making little money from home. Do I get a second job? Or even a first one? (Well, I do teach part time and have this little business, which is dreadfully slow.)
If someone handed me $5,000 right now, I would still feel like the whole thing is dismal.
Plus we got a letter from preschool that asks us to bring enough clothing supplies for three days, in case the school is locked down and they have to use the fallout shelter.
As for teens, at least one is a boy. You can be grateful for that. Two teen-aged girls would be a horror.
More temperate? More lovely? Nah. Gimme the summer day.
