With the economy the way it is, it now affects the middle class and the upper middle class, who once had the means to live comfortably, some would say “high on the hog.”

You get the idea, and people that were well to do a while back — now a few are having to do without and go without. Now these people have to make sure their kids wear out their clothes, shoes too, plus fewer toys. They’re not eating out a lot and are starting to shop at Wal-Mart and Food-4-Less. One sees them, and they seem to be in shock, and disbelief.

Folks, take some advice: Don’t panic. Just learn to live like poor people live. It’s not that bad, folks; things will fall into place.

Remember — poor not poverty. I have always said that in this country one can live where the rich live and eat like them, and drive what they do. You can do it.
