I'm making 50% less than I was in '94. 40% less than I was in '06. My house is worth 59% of the purchase price, yeah that's my bad buying at the peak of the bubble. Gas is 3x's what it was in '94 and about the same as in '06. Food costs have gone up by about 15%. The building industry has come to a screeching halt and doesn't look to improve in the near future. I hear rumors of SS cuts for disabled Vet's. Meaning I'll soon have a new house mate when my brother's pay get's cut. What kind of douche bag cut's benefits to war vets while Congressmen and Senators get raises? WTF.
But, hey. I have a roof over my head, a less than desirable income, food on the table and the opportunity to hang out with my brother more often.
I guess it's just the difference between living and getting by. I just prefer to live.
