Good post. Just by your initial post you subjected yourself to the slings and arrows of countless freepers eager to jam their life experiences (how they triumphed over all years ago when America’s economy was very good) down your throat.
Oh yes the economy was so good during the Carter years I worked at a construction company office during the day and worked at a bar at night- just to support myself. One of my daughters is working two jobs right now so it is still being done.
I learned something though- the worse the economy is the more greatful one should be to have a job.
