There is little doubt that Bailey-esque "generosity" is little more than narcissistic emotionalism--and probably one of the cruelest forms of kindness extant.

As folks facing foreclosure these days are finding out.

Sucks to be poor.  Sucks more to be poor and in hock.

I prefer the closing lines of George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning"

I ain't got a dime
But what I got is mine
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free
