[QUOTE="Christy, post: 171042, member: 225"] Yes. I have never remembered a time when so many people were facing hard times. With the cost of gas and the pice of groceries and utilities continuing to rise things will only get worse. We have been fortunate so far but are much more frugal. husband has switched to public transportation to commute and I try to combine trips to save gas and plan grocery lists more carefully. My sister in law just asked us for a $3000 loan so they could avoid foreclosure. This was a tough situation because husband has bailed them out financially more than once. We had the money in savings but with not me not working right now, our savings is dwindling. They are terrrible with money but on the other hand, they have four kids and we would hate to see them lose the house. We decided this would be the last time we could afford to help them out and I am hopeful that they will make it. [/QUOTE]
