[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 605841, member: 1967"] I understand, Sig, I really do. My husband had a high salaried corporate technology job which disappeared at the start of the recesssion. He was in his late fifties and no one would even look at him twice despite his 30+ years of experience. In fact, that got in the way because they wanted someone younger and cheaper. He is now in a second career as a math teacher and makes 1/3 of his old salary. We had to make many adjustments to our old lifestyle and there are still times that I resent it (and him) for the changes that we had to make. I'm pretty fatalistic, though, and have a "it is what it is" kind of attitude and so I just moved on. When I miss the old nice things in life, I remind myself that we still have a joint income that many others would be thrilled to live on. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
