| Yes and No.......and Yes. I don't know how to answer this question. I'm making less and paying more for things - that's not good. But I don't feel like it's politcal; I'm making less because of an elective employment change, but I'm working less too. I'm paying more in higher prices (and higher property taxes) - but have less bills because I am no longer in debt. So I guess I am better off - I have a lot more toys and free time than I did 8 years ago and I have no debt. I'm having much more fun, that's for sure!!
