Oddly, I might be in a slightly better financial situation than before. At least from perspective of job security. Worries last fall led me to make haste to the prospective employers, and I now am on the payroll of the university here. I have a fairly okay check streaming into my checking account now every two weeks--whereas before I was depending on the drip-by-drip income of the freelance writer, and the drips were getting slower and slower!

Nevertheless, I'll eel a lot more guilty now when I spend my money on the inevitable frivolities like beer, Long Island Iced Teas, Starbucks coffee, J. Crew Final Sale items, and overpriced 180-gram LP reissues.

Oh, yeah, and my TIAA/CREF stock-based retirement fund is, like, disappearing. What's up with that?
