[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 171267, member: 393"] [B]I'm not panicked yet, though I probably should be. Between the increase in prices & all the medical bills I'm doing a very precarious balancing act. husband works from home & that saves greatly on gas & parking expenses. I'm still ordering groceries online which has a delivery charge but is less than a filling a gas tank. A great deal less. I'm more worried about the heating costs this coming winter; we're already planning to cover our 97 y/o windows with some kind of insulator. We've already installed some foamy stuff in the crawl spaces of our home. I think our "leaders" in Difficult Child need to take a long hard look at what brought us here & start planning. Our country has been so "reactive" to various situations with quick fixes that the long term problem is never addressed. We have a couple of generations of people now who don't know how to budget, save or do without - need that immediate gratification. And our economy has certainly fed on that as those same people are drowning in debt. Now the debt is being called & people are losing everything. Credit shouldn't be that easy to obtain - especially for college students. It's hard times - I'm thankful that I've been raised by parents of the depression. We were taught to be frugal; to only buy what you can pay for with cash, etc. [/B] [/QUOTE]
