And ALL GONE at that. Not to mention, debt has proportionally taken its place.

Interesting note:
I’ve had quite a few clients that have been forced to cut back on their luxuries. Namely, me flying them here and there.

The ones who have made it to where they are from ground zero are FAR more easily dealing with it as compared to those who have always “had it good”.

It’s like:
“Well, we’ve been here before. We’ll make it through.” Vs. “OMG! How could this be happening to me ??!! It’s not fair !!”

Do I treat them differently? It’s hard not to.

Good thing she hasn't let the help go, otherwise those poor children would have to do some *gasp* work around the house. Imagine if their friends heard about them doing any manual labor.
