Wisdom for the credit crunch from Dickens: “My other piece of advice, Copperfield,” said Mr. Micawber, “you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the god of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and—and, in short, you are for ever floored. As I am!”

When my husband died - I had left him some years before - it was devastating to my sons but also to me. I remember saying to the boys 'As long as the three of us are alive Dad will be around.'
That's a good way to look at things isn't it.
