How assinine, as if the work you'd put in all your life meant nothing. As if attention to detail, meticulous processing, honesty and loyalty were without any value.

You did everything right. Didn't overextend your credit. Paid your bills on time. Saved for your retirement.

Look ahead at what you have, not what you've lost. Your positive attitude will save you and bring you back to new heights.

Bullshit, you think. Instead of working diligently, living frugally, all I had to do was smile?
