I didn't originally thing we were talking 63k USD but still that is well above what I make. When I was growing up, it was understood by my local existence in my area anyway that 50k a year was "making it" and I would have the American Dream. A lot of stuff has changed since I was told all that. We are doing fine and I'm not complaining. I can still go outside each morning and get some God provided sunshine and fresh air. We live in our first smallish home but the kids are pretty well grown so it gets bigger every day as they are prepare to go out and start their own lives.I hope the rest of the world figures it all out and it doesn't get much worse out there.
