Sticker shock: When paychecks disappear.

Today is pay day. That used to signal the beginning of unbridled shopping. But here I sit, after scheduling my bill payments online, feeling as empty as my wallet. Gone are the days of $200 shoes, that's for damn sure.

Once the shock wears off, I'm going to print out an invoice for a design job I just completed. That should pay my cell phone bill for a month.

If I actually got paid in real wages for all my work as a mom and domestic engineer, I'd be pulling down some serious Gs. In an ideal world!!
