Or cash, in Ones (pennies) and Fives (nickels).

6. if that's all the money you have in the world, sure.

so i guess it would be fun for bush to ask you if you are better off now than four years ago? lol.

8. What was I making four years ago?

Not in the six digits ... but close. Real close.

I used to think that the phrase "I'm ruined!" was only used in comedies where a rich person made an unwise bet. In my case, a not-so-rich person made an unwise bet to get trained to develop software.

I had only been able to bank about $22,000 because I had (and still have) enormous medical debts. When I'm working, I have to pony up a significant amount of my income to keep from being sued again -- and nowadays, the Republican judges have no compunction about throwing a late-pay debtor into jail on the pretense of contempt of court.

Socialism can't arrive too soon.
