I was sure happier when I had more disposable income. I'm glad that I appreciated it at the time.

You always find such interesting links! I suffer from periodic episodes of Meniere's Disease,and one of the worst symptoms during an episode is the overwhelming and seemingly unending tinnitus. the most effective treatment I've found for it has been acupuncture. Interesting to read about the nerve blocks though. I'll have to point this out to my doctor, and to my brother who has the problem. Thanks for sharing.

Eric Hoffer observed several decades ago that ...the poor on the borderline of starvation live purposeful lives. To be engaged in a desperate struggle for food and shelter is to be wholly free from a sense of futility.

Also:

There is no doubt that in exchanging a self-centered for a selfless life we gain enormously in self-esteem. The vanity of the selfless, even those who practice utmost humility, is boundless.
