I must be fortunate, but it also helps that I do my best to live within my means (e.g. no credit card debt) and I haven't lost my job. I can honestly say that nothing financially in my life has changed in the last 10 years with the exception of some large fluctuations in the value of my 401K (and maybe gas prices, too.) Life really has been rolling along just fine.

Sometimes I wonder if FR and keeping up with the news in other media outlets is good or bad. I guess it just had its advantages and disadvantages.

Isn’t it surreal when you hear about all this government debt, though. Doesn’t it just make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. It’s like you’re in the second floor apartment relaxing, and you have this creeping sensation that the tenet on the ground floor might just have started an out of control grease fire in his kitchen.
