It's not easy being middle-class...

Not that I'm complaining, because I do consider myself pretty lucky in a financial point of view. But sometimes, I which I had more spending money... The reason right now? Well, one of my favorite artists is coming to town on June 4th: Roger Waters. He came to Montreal no long ago, and I really wanted to see him, but with the ticket price at $150 each, plus the travel expenses, that was way too expensive for me. Now he's coming to Ottawa, and I don't know if I'll be able to afford it still. My wife would like to go see him also, and I would really like to go with her too, so that's twice the ticket price. And I might even be able to get early tickets because I'm registered at the sponsoring radio station's web site. Everything is right... except for the ticket price. The prices have not been announced yet, but I don't expect it to be below $100 each, possibly up to $200 for the good ones.

Oh well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe my income tax return will be generous this year, and I could get the tickets for us as a gift. I mean, we don't go out very often, so that would be nice...
