if this profit check is going to save you from a downturn, you're already in trouble.
If i was scared the world was going to end every day or the doom and gloom stories i read on here, i'd never enjoy anything in life and pinch every penny i make. this profit sharing is a bonus and i'm going to treat it as such, i didnt get this money in 2008 and i was fine then, not all of us live above our means.
