I don't think I'm boring either. I have two kids I have to think about and my family has had to change our lifestyle now that we are getting nailed at the gas pumps. Once again though, why get yourself sick over things you have no control over.

I used to be a surgical technician and worked at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. This experience really woke me up. Sorry RoyalGuardian, but you have no idea what type of stress some people/families have. While your crying and ranting online about your 401K, there is probably another 18 year old just like yourself struggling to live through the night.

All I'm trying to say is that things could be alot worse. Be thankful for what you have.
