I'm an engineer, so I make a good salary and have some savings. But so far, I still need to mortgage payments.

I've heard that the "cash in pockets" proposals will be means tested (presumably based on last years income), so no help there.

Hop I don;t have to gut my significantly diminished 401K.

Not touching my daughters' college savings, even if I have to live in my car.
