If all the criteria were as you stated and living on the Cape where it is a bit harder to keep up with the Joneses because it
a. has to come over the bridge
b. "This is the cape and we don't pay like over the bridge in the USA"
c. My wife and I work for school districts and alas, though we have a great benefit package the down side is the salry is low.
d. And since "c" must be considered and we are part of the vanishing middle class, even more so on the Cape, who are not poor but one check away with one daughter in college and one more going next year.
I would spend every sapre moment not at work catching every "legal" bass I could and lay them on the concrete floor of Falmouth Fish market.
Now, that being said, I put myself through Community College and supplemented my income in the "black bread " years of recently married and buying a home on the Cape with catching and selling bass. I sold my last fish in the late fall of 1986. I loved those days, cannot get it out of my psyche, it's a part of me. I did it and I am not sorry. It helped pay bills when there was no other money to be had.
