53. That's their own fault, too!
:crazy:

That mindset seems to partially stem from the idea that if the person thinking that is getting by or even doing well, then anyone can. What those types don't realize is just how close to the edge they really are... a major medical problem, a lost job... so many things could take them down in a matter of months or weeks, but they don't see it. The illusion of control is a very dangerous one. We'd all be better off realizing how out of control we really are, even at the best of times.

"There before the grace of God" and all that. :hi:
