there are few valid excuses to make 100k and be "struggling"...unless you brought it on yourself.
seriously. I see this *daily* with clients...
No there isn't any reason to be struggling with that salary. Hopefully these people realize their extravagant lifestyles are best lived in a toned manner during these times. If there are more stories of 100k salaries struggling I'd be scared to know how bad it is for people not making as much.
Times like these I'm happy I live overseas where the costs of living are a lot cheaper.

ing hilarious. I'm *almost* embarrassed for her.
I really wish our federal debate weren't on at the same time as the VP debate! In another debate, Joe Biden told one of his opponents "the thing I like the most about you...is your wife." LOL It's going to be interesting to watch a reputed hot-head try and take down his female opponent without pissing off female voters.

I proper lol'ed. I can't even tell if she did it on purpose or not, but either way it was comedy gold.

What? She never said the word "France" at all. I think you mistook "France" for "friends".

Palin defends her remark about foreign policy experience
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
September 26, 2008
Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin defended her remark that the proximity of Russia to her home state of Alaska gives her foreign policy experience, explaining in a CBS interview airing yesterday that "we have trade missions back and forth."
Palin's foreign policy experience arose when she gave her first major interview on Sept. 11 to ABC News. Asked what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, she said: "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
When CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked how Alaska's closeness to Russia enhanced her foreign policy experience, Palin said, "Well, it certainly does because our ... our next-door neighbors are foreign countries."
Palin didn't answer directly when Couric inquired about whether she had been involved in negotiations with the Russians. "We have trade missions back and forth," she replied.
I honestly am not following this very much at all, so I can not provide any thorough opinions on this topic, however, I did come into work yesterday to sit with my boss and watch this interview. Palin is unbelievable....and if elected, she is the back up option in a US Presidential crisis???

The more I think about this, the more choosing Palin as VP makes sense. She (like Bush) appeals to the majority of American voters because like them, she has little to no idea of what's going on in the world. Americans can identify with that.

Nor does she mention France.
Still a brutal answer though. The guy's commentary on the interview was spot on.
