Or "I can do almost anything with nothing"
Poverty quotes anyone? It's hitting home with me--no more child support from the ex (kids have graduated high school). Cut off of unemployment, even with thousands left in my account (thanks Jan Brewer). Jeez, I may have to quit drinking....
A year and three months I'll be eligible for Social Security I hope.

2. Cut off with money in an account?
Assuming it was credited you but you can't access it any more?

How does that work?

4. Songs:
"We ain't got a barrel of money, maybe we're ragged and funny..."

"Brother, can you spare a dime?"

Depression songs made relevant again.

I was in the gym today, and there was a song coming from the speakers. I don't always follow popular music, but these lyrics were, "Where have all the good jobs gone?"

Maybe someone can identify it for me.

Let's see:

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer?

I can't think of any others right now.
