I’m not sure why it isn’t visible! I’ll see if I can edit the color, too.

I feel rich, though, because I’m living the life I want.

Compared to people in the rest of the world, I’m quite rich, though. In fact, compared to other single mothers in this country, I’m at least slightly rich.

I love these comments! Nothing like a good recession to put things in perspective.
