I've been better off. Like many my house is worth about 20% less than it was in 06, I've not been as impacted by Healthcare costs (retired Military) but they seem on the rise across the board. I have little hope for my two sons currently in college finding a career when they graduate... but they're both working and going to school atm, so that could be worse. My government wage has levelled off, which is to be expected I suppose... But I have a few family members up in Philly out of work, and/or working two jobs just to get by, so that's a bummer... On the eve of this election, I'm just not feeling it for either party; but I count my blessings every day and hope a leader emerges that will lead us out of this down troddin blah I believe the country is in, restore some jobs and improve hope and confidence.
