Warren Week III: Doubling Down

In practice, a dual income stream
Is riskier than it may seem,
Since the likelihood doubles
That personnel troubles
Deliver a loss for the team.   

The risk can be limited, blessedly,  
By budgeting not so aggressively;  
Put aside someone's pay  
For a rainier day,  
When you'll have to cut back of necessity.   

Day Three of our week-long tribute to America's struggling middle class, based on The Two-Income Trap by Elizabeth Warren.
