I'm not the only one who took a BIG cut in pay.

Although this article here, talks about people going from 6 figures to $7 an hour and glad to get it, I wasn't making 6 figures. My husband and I together weren't making 6 figures. But we live where the cost of living was low and had no house payment or rent. I worked for him for years but the business grew and grew and due to the stressful nature we NEVER want to do that again. I actually got sick and had to quit (lyme) he went on to start another business but the demand for it went down the tubes so he's self employed again, I work @ Wally World. My daughter said if that hadn't happened we would have both been dead by now. But it was nice to be on the fast track and have the best of almost everything, not worry about the piddly things, even though the 24/7 work was a bit much, couldn't have any sort of family deal without having to answer the phone etc, I can't say how many meals I cooked while talking on the phone, or how many times I was awoken in the middle of the night by an emergency phone call from an employee, NOT FUN. On the other hand I, like these people in the link, am now VERY grateful for my little job although I think there are those who think I just work for the entertainment value. Doesn't make me feel so bad about my piddly little job and honest work?
I heard on the radio coming home tonight Barrack Obama said we should have the spirit of the American people during theRevolutionary War, not be depressed and downtrodden by the severe crisis that our country is in but concentrate on solving it. Think about it.
