Life is stressful when you live on the edge.

The edge of poverty and homelessness that is.

LI just texted DH crying about how her online bank is having technical difficulties with deposits. I can tell from her wording that she is very frustrated and upset about not having access to her money today. DH and I also use said bank (and a couple others) but we are fine. 

Not much DH can tell her except that it will be back up when it's back up and she will just have to be patient. I'm sure she owes money to somebody today (she does most every day). This isn't the first time she's flipped out when her paycheck is delayed. 

The hypocrisy

If you recall this past Christmas LI admitted that she dropped out of college (with plans to maybe get a certificate as an EMT). DH took it a lot better than expected after a very brief period of lamenting.

In case anyone was wondering how it all shook out, we have (of course) come full circle. DH is now insisting that college is a "waste of time and money". 

This, after years of calling other people (such as his nephews) losers for not going to college.
