We're currently living on savings, because my freelance work has pretty much dried up, and my other half hasn't gone back to work yet after his most recent job-from-hell experience. So I should feel poor, but I don't. I do feel insecure, because we're using savings that won't be available if there is another big emergency that we have to pay for (we're currently paying for the "new floor in the flooded basement" emergency). But I see all the "toys" that my friends have (iPods, GPS devices, game consoles, really big TVs) and I don't need or want them, so I don't feel poor. I would really like us to be able to go away on holidays next year to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. I will feel sad, and probably poor, if it turns out we can't afford to do that.
