Average Dreams for an Average Reality

With this new economic status that we are in it is hard to make your nut, no pun intended.  Just to break even and not go into debt is a real challenge now a days.  People are getting layed off left and right.  They are unsure of where their next meal is going to come from.  We are in a current state of panic where average is in fact anything but that.  Average is now considered above average.  The days of ten thousand dollar bonuses and all inclusive healthcare are far behind.  Even the thousand dollar a night call girl is now charging two hundred and fifty dollars an hour. So what is one to do?  This excerpt from a local paper reads,  "Shana, 42, lost her $45,000-a-year job as a secretary last year. Sienna [who's working on her graduate degree in English Lit] was laid off in July from her job as an executive assistant with a travel agency. Shana, who worked briefly as a waitress before hooking up with her current gig, is putting her son through college. 'He's trying to get an engineering degree,' she explained. 'With the economy the way it is, how is my son going to get a loan? And he's going to finish college."  People will do whatever it takes to continue on the status quo.  No one is trying to get rich, only trying to get bye.  Who is to say if that is okay or not?  Not you or I.  If prostitution is a means to an end, and it is a necessity to make money, then I say go for it!  Make your nut, and save some for a rainy day or a college fund.
