Nope... Sorry, I just had to relay this, 60 Minutes is so good. :D 60 Minutes wrote: (CBS) But none of that has changed the Wall Street bonus culture. Lewis says there is a sense of entitlement to outrageous compensation that he thinks is way out of proportion to its contribution to the U.S. economy. "How did that happen that somebody thinks they're automatically worth millions of dollars a year?" Kroft asked. "Well, when you're surrounded by a lot of other people who are being paid millions of dollars of year, you're not thinking, 'Oh, it's outrageous for someone to pay me millions of dollars a year.' You're thinking, 'It's outrageous that Jim got $500,000 more than me.' That they're looking to each other as reference points rather than to the larger society," Lewis explained. This is so wrong...

You could make it with that. But my monthly costs of living have been over 10K for a long time. My electric bill alone is over $1,000 during the summer months. Yeah, But then I've been living mostly frugally for a long time. Heck I usually wash dishes by hand, Some things I do Myself, Like the swamp cooler(I had to sit on the back steps to do that, to replace the pads, good thing It was 61F outside then, It's supposed to be 81f this week for 2 days, I'd be dying trying to do that then), Soon I'm going to replace 3 outlets next to 2 sinks with GFCI outlets and get some outlet gaskets for them, A 4th GFCI that was here when I bought the place will get a gasket too, Thankfully the 3 plates, outlets and the 4 gaskets won't cost Me more than $43.71 and to trim My TV budget by $5.99 a month, I'm looking at getting a Winegard SS-2000 Squareshooter UHF-Only Amplified Antenna and 12' of coax so that I can get My locals from nearby($73.74 via amazon) It doesn't need be more than hung on a wall or sat down on the floor behind the TV(I have a metal roof, hopefully that won't be a problem), I might even get rid of the HD programming as that would save another $10 a month, But I'll be doing the trimming in May as to do that Dish charges a $5 fee for that.
