[quote=Anonymous]I make 88K, my Dh has been unemployed for 2 years - laid off from non-profit sector.  We both have Master's degrees.  We Paid 420K for a big house in the suburbs at the height of the boom in May 2006.  It's now worth 274K according to zillow. We have a condo that we rent out and we make a few hundred bucks off each month.  We drive 2 cars from 2004 and 2005 that we have fortunately now paid off.    We always pay on time, eat out a few times a month, took a vacation last Spring.  This summer our tenants moved out and our condo was empty for maintenance for a month before being re-rented.  We had to borrow money from my parents to make the bills on time.  We are living a good life, but we are not anywhere where we expected to be when we got started on our professional lives. And still, WE FEEL VERY FORTUNATE.  There are people who are really hurting.  We are grateful that we are making it work.    It's really shocking to me to read how little persepective and how little compassion some people can have for those less fortunate.[/quote]
