Brilliant. You summed up how so many people feel in just four words. If only those idiots on the stock market were as economical.

H,Raul! I can relate to this feeling of being broke. When I was financially in trouble...I was hopeless and depressed. Now, I am fixing my situation by being frugal. I hope you can do the same. Your footle has a sincere and convincing tone to it. Good luck in the Footle contest. Warm regards, Andrew.
