[quote=Anonymous]I was laid off two years ago.  That's exactly why I'm telling you I'm not rich.  I am a salaried employee.  You get laid off and you immediately worry about your mortgage, paying for preschool and nanny.  That's when you KNOW you are not rich.  I don't have a large trust fund to fall back on.  What I did have was a large savings account, substantial investments and healthy retire accounts, none of which I wanted to touch in order to pay for mortgage, etc. but I could if I had to.  But that is not the definition of being rich or wealthy.

And to PP - I don't think anyone here has spent all of their money.  Like I said, we're sitting on lots of cash and other investments but that's savings, college and retirement.  We save what we can but my kids still need schooling and a childcare provider while I'm working.

It's sad that my layoff would please you.  How would that help you people making so much less?  With unemployment as high as it is, every county including DC has cut services from schools, libraries, police, and other social services.  That's directly due to high unemployment of people including people like me who were making much more than  $250K alone.  Glad you've thought this whole thing through.[/quote]
