Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.
Life goes on. 6 years ago I lost my job of over 24 years, went back to school and have much satisfaction in my new career. Pay isn't as much as some jobs, but health care is very rewarding and possibly recession proof. Just my 2 cents.
My 401K statement yesterday showed me with a net loss of 0.025% for the last 3 years. I actually would have been ahead if I'd stuck the cash under my mattress. Can you imagine where our fellow citizens would be if bush had gotten his way and privatised Social Security?
