Are you afraid of the economy on the skids? Are you affected?

[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 197673, member: 84"] Janet I'm also worried about easy child and sister in law, yes they both have good jobs and easy child will always find work as a nurse, even if sister in law can't as an airline mechanic. (but he'll always find mechanic work even if it's side jobs) The real problem is that they've spoiled themselves so badly. easy child and sister in law see something they want, and they'll get it. Cash or credit. They eat out nearly every single night, sometimes several times a day. easy child thinks she's being economical to buy second hand baby furniture. I sit here and stare at Nichole's baby furniture wondering why she doesn't just ask Nichole to borrow it. Free is even better than used, and there is nothing wrong with Nichole's set. They go to movies a couple times a week. I just shake my head at their consistant waste of money. I did it even before the economy was taking a nosedive......I'm really doing it now. sigh I grew up dirt poor. Some days all we ate was oatmeal for all 3 meals. Some days it would be whatever veggie was ripe in the garden......I know I can do it. I'm good at doing without. But my kids I worry about. They grew up poor too, but not at the same level I did. Just got thru warning Nichole to be on the lookout for warm winter clothing for Aubrey at the remaining yard sales as it's gonna be cold in this house this winter. Jo, I'm so glad I didn't decide to buy the house we wanted out of town or we'd have the propane costs too. That was the reason I'd changed my mind, believe it or not. I'd like to find the guy who remodeled my house and skin him for sealing up the fire place chimney. grrrrrrr What an idiot! That would've come in so handy in so many many ways. [/QUOTE]
