[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 148358, member: 84"] The current economy is scaring the daylights out of me. husband and I were just ever so barely squeaking by before. Now we're surviving on a hope and a prayer. He is seriously considering trading in his KIA for something smaller and more fuel effiecient. Gas alone is killing us. He has to drive an hour and a half to work each day, then back home again. Then with my toting 2 kids to and from work and going to school myself each day....... Grocery shopping is depressing. No luxuries. husband has been told I see a soda in his hands he's dead meat. Milk is not a beverage in our home, except for Aubrey. It's only used for cooking. I've found myself reverting back to the "poor man" meals my mother used to make. No snack foods. I'm planting a garden this year because we can't afford not to. At this rate, It looks like school may have to be put on the back burner so I can get a job. I've cut back everywhere I can, and still it doesn't seem enough. :pouting: [/QUOTE]
