Actually, that latter is true even when you are not an involuntary non-wage-earner.
YES. I struggle with this a lot.
I'm really glad that you're feeling secure in your job! I'd actually wondered how you were doing with that, whether that was something you had to worry about.
I am endlessly, endlessly grateful that Greg's job is so secure. I think about it pretty much every day. Jason's a contractor, and his position is looking dicey, and Sonja has been living with us for what, nine months now? All because she lost her job and can't find another one. I'm so glad we can house her and not need to charge rent, but at the same time it's shaken me up to see how many people "out there" aren't so lucky.
