per request, a few old op/ed pieces
I never make public posts in this thing anymore, but if you're interested in reading two of my editorials from the paper in recent weeks, here they are:
( The cost of raising children: May 31 issue )

There’s nothing wrong with treating a child to the occasional expensive toy or outfit. It becomes a problem when these “treats” become the norm, at the expense of the family’s credit rating.
It's a damn shame how many middle-class households are making good money, but are still walking the edge because they have to uphold the American lifestyle. It kills me to hear two-parent households with maybe two kids making almost a hundred grand a year talk about struggling. Struggling! Like you don't have the mobility to move to a cheaper area and another job and downsize your budget. Your kid does not need fifty million game consoles.
And Kamenetz's is a damned fool. How are you supposed to pick up a job in your target field with only fast food gigs on your resume? Is there a special bank where you can cash in your degree and your dream career that Kamenetz's know about and isn't telling because I sure as hell don't?
