[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 148324, member: 47"] Too bad that stimilus money is so little, cause at this point, the only thing I would like to purchase is a bike and a farm.. Shopping has become depressing. We use a lot of rice, and when I went down the "starch" isle, was surprised to find hardly any rice where normally there are absolute sacks of all kinds. The rice shortage has been a big thing in the news every day. And I noticed that the store, which is usually packed, was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon. There was also a distinct lack of fresh veggies :( I just looked around and kept saying "I am sooo not paying that much for....whatever" I had been extremely spoiled and threw whatever in the cart - those days are gone..my life now revolves around how creative I can be with whole frozen chickens.. Almost 100.00 to fill up the truck :( SO's little side job of taking photo's for insurance purposes may have to come to an end because of the gas prices. easy child whose plans come August to quit one of his two jobs and go back to school, well, all of his extra money he was putting aside is going towards gas just getting back and forth to work cause they are on opposite ends of town. My little bit of retirement funds in my 401 K is pretty much tanking daily - plans of paying off the house and retiring at 62 has gone right out the window.. What a mess the economy is in right now Marcie [/QUOTE]
