We had our taxes done yesterday and we were talking to our accountant after...
He said he has at least one client a day who has lost their job, and about 3 clients a week who have lost their homes.

These are some scary times we are living in.

For some people it's not real until you learn how it's affecting people you know and then all of a sudden you realize that it's not just a story in the paper.

It's not like we need one to manage our money...day to day living seems to take care of that!
