Putting things in perspective

When Steve and I got married, our total income was $18,000 per year, which mine trusty mental calculatorial skill tells me is $1500 per month.

We paid that much in May for his prescription medications.

I know we're better off than many. I won't forget that, ever. That realization doesn't make it more fun.

And having 50% of Americans assume that I'm going so deeply into debt because of a flaw in my character doesn't make it any more fun, either.
