Survivor's guilt?

I don't actually know anyone that's been laid off recently, although one or two friends have said they're concerned about their jobs. Washington is no longer recession-proof, but it's less hard hit than many areas. I don't really have survivor's guilt--nor sanctimony. There's definitely genuine compassion for people who have been affected, as well as a big element of there-but-for-the-grace-of-god-go-I. At the same time, five to ten years ago, when many others were living it up in boom times, I made do on a non-profit and then a grad school salary, so I feel no guilt about living well now that I can. There were always people who were hurting; now it's just more widespread.
