(More Times white panic over tough times: 1. New Yorkers facing disastrous life on less than $500,000/year; 2. How's a guy supposed to feed himself on only $160,000? 3. Couple making $55,000 is literally starving to death. 4. Annie Leibovitz pawns her photos, other riches seeking cash for high-priced art to keep wolf from the door. 5. Oh the Humanities! Your liberal arts degree won't buy a cup of coffee, but profs squirm at the the thought of making the case for practical uses of a humanities degree. 6. Developers face terrifying prospect of only getting $1.1 million for a 2-bedroom condo.)
