    Think about it this way. In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average home was $11,000.00 In 1968, when Richard Nixon took office, ‘middle class’ meant one Union job supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. left office in 1992 “middle class” was two college jobs to support the household.

    Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.

    105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.

    “Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?”

    “Yes, your honor, we haven’t been happy for a while and it’s time to end things.”

    “Why did you stay together for so long?”

    “We were waiting for the children to die.”













  • I’m lucky because I have an Italian food shop near me that makes homemade uncooked pizza. I can take it home and cook right away or freeze. Same with the chicken pot pies.

    The main thing I’d say is get in the habit of making giant servings and freeze them. I will make 5 liters of stew/chili/soup on a Sunday and freeze it in pint containers. A different recipe the next Sunday. Now I’ve got 20 meals sitting in the freezer.

    It takes as much effort to make a big meal as a small one; make a meal big enough for four people and freeze three portions.
