Middle Class Poverty: Selling Off the Geek Symbols

In: smp

22 Apr 2005

Well, the sell-off of my geek gadgets and books is almost complete. The extra BEFSX41 went in the mail yesterday, and the Treo 90 is going in the mail in a few minutes. The iPod Shuffle (1GB) is on eBay right now.

All of this to pay the bills.

Poverty in the middle-class is hell. I hate it.

Atrios on the AMC. And on the definition of “high-income”.

    At age 61 with a 'nice life style' and some savings, I am trying to face a potential future of 'mcp' (middle class poverty) if I don't change my cavalier behavior towards money. Husband and I have fixed expenses that exceed income. There is still time to conserve savings if accepting probability of mcp leads to more responsible spending. Your feeling comes thru and may help me face reality.



    So what do you do now to survive? Rachel
