[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 287577, member: 6370"] It made me really sad to read your post. I think this is the first time that in the US the next generation will be unable to climb higher up the ladder than we have. That was always the American dream for our children. I will venture to say that your affluent neighbors are not as affluent as they once were. My neighbor is trying to sell her Florida home. This beautiful house was featured in Better Homes and Gardens Mag. She has had to cut the asking price in half. We were well off until the criminals on Wall St. plundered our collective nest eggs. We are carrying two mortgages. My husband is always the one to collapse when things go wrong and I have to be the strong one. I told him I am tired of wearing the phallus in this family. He is BiPolar (BP) and does not know how to cope. He will never go back to work because he no longer trusts his judgement. My difficult child mother and my difficult child sons are truly responsible for my determination to survive this economy. If they couldn't kill me, nothing could. I learned how to coupon with a vengance. I can show you how you can have food on your table AND have enough to give to your local food bank. I was asked to teach a couponing class but I am scared of public speaking. If you are interested I will copy and paste what I wrote to the community org. which contacted me. It has become the thrill of the hunt for me. If I ever win the lottery I don't think I would ever go back to my old shopping ways again. I'm so sorry that your life has little peace. [/QUOTE]
