I read this post a while back and it rubbed me the wrong way. After seeing more comments, I thought I might point out the above observation because it is a big one no one else mentioned ...

Nope, didn't miss it. But that would be normal, par for the course things that people would normally do when they realize they are living beyond their means. It isn't even like they went from living in a big house to a carboard box, they still have (and are still clearly affording) decent shelter for both of them, witness that they apparently would still have used a lawn service at the new place, if they weren't cutting back because of how bad things are.
A house to street or house to crack whore monthly rate hotel might be news. A house to house move is just one of those things, certainly she isn't suffering, otherwise I can list you tens of millions of people who would love to suffer her way.
