Why is the glass half empty?

Like most americans would say; I'm under paid and trying to make ends meet. Having a mortage seemingly big enough to own the white house, yet only leaves me with a tiny cubical suspended 3 stories in the air. Mistake or a unforseen stroke of good fortune. Struggling is my middle name, so for numerous reasons I choose to view the glass as half empty. So stay tuned because you never know if the water level will rise or fall...
