    Published: June 1, 2008

    NANCY CHEMTOB, a divorce lawyer in Manhattan, has found that her days have become crammed seeing clients, all worried about how an economic downturn will affect their marriages.

    “They fear their kids won’t get invited to the right birthday parties,” said Michele Kleier, an Upper East Side-based real estate broker. “If they have to give up things that are invisible, they’re O.K. as long as they don’t have give up things visible to the outside world.”

    Wow , how sick is that. I fear being in a neighborhood with people as shallow as that.

    These are the poorest people in the world, in my opinion.

    And a woman that leaves her husband because he doesn’t make enough money (whatever the amount) isn’t a wife. She’s a call-girl.
