Many things here resonated with me, Steve, but perhaps the most was your comment on setting a standard for life by taking a lower-paying job. I don't know about it in that direction, but the variability in salary for the same work in our society is amazing. It's a combination of your expectations and the type of employers that you find yourself working for. I have a good friend who worked several years for a low-paying employer, and at 32 was happy as a clam to be paid his age times 1000. A couple of job changes later, he found a high-paying employer, doing similar work, and is well into the six figures.

I know, I know ... it made me feel bad just writing that post!

It is amazing to see the destruction in the economy. I feel like we are no longer falling off a cliff - there was a while there when we didn't know which bank would be around when we woke up the next day. But now it's like entering a deep winter - things are just not moving.
