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

[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 197722, member: 4040"] We aren't that affected right now. Hubby works for a utility company; people will always need power, and I'm substituting; people will always need teachers. The economy is the primary reason I haven't applied to teach full time; budget cuts, whatever, they still need substitutes, where they could lay off regular classroom teachers. My car is paid for; Hubby's has another year to go. I bought this house 12 years ago and still have a wonderfully low house payment. I worry about the boys (Hubby's sons, in their 20's). One is an electrician, so far he's making it, but if construction drops off, so will his work. The other just got married, and does graphic design. His wife works in the front office at a medical clinic. I hope she's been there long enough to not be affected by layoffs. And I worry about Miss KT. She graduates from high school next June, and I wonder if she'll be able to find a job. [/QUOTE]
