True, but I didn't include my student loans that triple that amount (and are really there, in BIG print instead of fine print). ;) They'll kick in if I don't return to school in the fall.

I have a job and am looking a second, so I'm not starving or poor. And I'm alive. The simple stuff, ya know, gets me through the harsh phone calls from debt collectors. (They are the meanest SCUM on this planet).
