Not really. Being a teacher in the school district and a studio drummer, I have just enough extra cash in my funds to keep up the smokes!

Yes, while my job is stable my wife is a waitress in a restaurant in a casino. Only a few months ago she was making a good buck. Now, she barely brings home anything.

Your right about CA being expensive. I was in San Diego 2 years ago and stopped at a Wendy's drive thru (nothing else open that late). We barely got anything and I had a $10 in my hand not expecting it to exceed that amount. When it came time to pay the kid working the drive thru told me my total which was around $15. I almost sh*t.

The economy and the market are really depressing -Luckily we have cigars to brighten the day--Sort of like smokers valium
