But I also know that there are exceptions to every rule especially when a black cloud follows you around thru no fault of your own, just a bunch of unfortunate circumstances and poor health would be at the top of this list...

There is no shame in cutting your own hair and sewing some things to save money and cooking from scratch...just as a habit, because it was cheaper.
There is no shame in choosing the Taurus instead of the Lexus because that extra money might help your own grandkids in college.
There is no shame in taking care of your family and other people who truly deserve a hand up, not a hand out.
There is no shame in starting out poor and carefully taking care of the money you earn so that you have enough excess that you are not a burden to society.
There is a damn shame in spending money on things you can't afford and don't need, especially if you don't have the money.
Help me down from this soap box.
Boy Howdy.
