Oh, I agree with you -- Without having met them, I'm sure most of the folks you work with are about "making ends meet" rather than accumulating wealth -- I just used the topic to muse "aloud" in a peripherally-related way.

Hurray to working from home next week!

My father's answer for all this craziness is that people should "farm it". Work for yourself, make your own hours, lots of fresh air and exercise. Of course, he has a part time job that provides needed health insurance and they are always busy and money definitely doesn't grow on trees. . . I think inherited wealth is the way to go. *grin*
