I have. For many years. Sure, I *prefer* making more money than that, but
I've lived far below that income level. 40K, even for the self-employed,
is NOT poverty, believe me.
I get the impression that many people posting here have never lived
through any financial hard times. I'm glad for you, but wonder if you lack
some perspective.
Dori's post today is an inspiring wakeup call in that regard...
