Ask yourself this.."Self, if I am not doing better than I was 6 years ago, what am I doing wrong?"

The person in the Oval Office has very, very little to do with one's self being. You are what you make of yourself and no president is going to change that.

But I must admit that I'm feeding my fat wallet very well these days thanks to the generous tax cut Bush gave me.

Considering I was in college 6 years ago donating plasma as my primary source of income and working concessions at a movie theater during the summer, I would have to say yes.

1999: personal $49k/year; family $49k/year
2005: personal $71k/year; family $110k/year

1999: cheap 1-bedroom apt
2005: 4-bedroom, 2-bath 2000 sqft house in the suburbs

1999: net worth $0
2005: net worth ~$60,000

Unfair comparison, though. In 1999, I was fresh out of college and single.

Well, I recently had a heart attack. So yes, I guess I was better off 6 years ago. But the good news is that I finally quit smoking.

Financially, yes. Facially, NO!
