Don't worry, I think we all understand -- money is always tricky to
talk about, especially since, for all sorts of reasons, everyone has
different financial situations.  Fortunately, though, we all know that
we are in this together, so we are all able to trust people's own
judgments about whether they need some extra help -- and all
appreciate the sacrifices people are making to help us all succeed.
