My cash nest egg has been decimated. Lin, who use to work with me at the office that's a 15 minute walk from my house, is now having to drive 60 miles a day which is killing us on gas since the traffic makes it, on average, a 1.5 to 2 hour commute every day.

10 years ago I could have been labeled as mildly well off. These days I food shop at ****ing Walmart in order to make ends meet.
I get my food at the church food bank. Top that, aristocrat.

I haven't bought new underwear or socks in over 3-4 years.

If you can complain about having to drop your standards when it comes to shopping for food you're still doing okay.

You should change the settings to "Check for updates but allow me to download them", then it won't reboot on you without your knowledge. Happened enough to me and ****ed up enough big downloads that I had to do something about it.

Edit: "**** you Microsoft and your updates" is also a good option to check...

Did you check in between the couch cushions? Where was the last place you saw them?
