I watch Oprah today about classes.  I think I am in the middle class after watching that show, but I don’t think of ourselves as a class.

It made me sad to hear how people who supposedly were friends, turn their noses up on people once the money was gone.  We don’t have many friends we can count them on one hand if that, so I know no one hangs around us for what we have to offer.

This show just get my mind going on how complicated our lives are, and how when the boat hits bottom it is usually too late.  That is what happened to us we lived making ends meet on credit for so long, it was a little bit at a time.  It added up for us to a whopping 35,000.00 approx debt.  Now like many we have learned our lesson hopefully and once we get out of the mess we have gotten ourselves in we will never get back into it.

I don’t see myself as a class, now I see myself as living beneath our means, knowing that if the economy goes up or down we can ride the wave.

I was watching a show today that I had taped on my DVR from Oprah How to Recession Proof Your Marriage. 

After watching this I need to make sure my husband and I sit down and have this talk.  I want to make sure I let him know that no matter what our marriage is first.  If the time ever comes when we have to lose our home and our possessions that all that is not worth our marriage.  Even if we have to live in a small place and start from scratch we are more than our jobs and our possessions.

I think he feels the same, but I need to hear it from him.
