How have you been surviving since the recession?

Attitude, attitude, attitude---------- people get tired of me saying that. Yes, it is hard, especially for those who have lost their jobs. And it is hard to adjust our lives to a new level. I am a crafting person, and I take a lot of satisfaction out of repurposing supplies. Many people are having to eat out a lot less, this is a good time to sharpen up those cooking skills. Mending clothing, doing without. Using the public library rather than purchasing new books. There are going to be some great bargains out there for anyone with a little extra cash---------I am hoping all of us will get to take advantage of some of those.

Things are starting to get rough and it is global and not merely in the advanced countries. I hope everything gets righted soon. Cheers!!

Yes, just go surfing at 12% daily, see my profile!

I have not been doing well. I lost my job and that makes things harder. I have been looking and looking but I am not finding a new job to go to. The economy sucks. I am not the only one hurting. There are a lot of people unemployed in our area. If they are not making money, they are not spending money.

Just being extra careful with the pennies and thinking three times instead of twice beofre buying anything.

Live within your means. Don't use credit. And pray that God will meet your needs and help you to be content with what He has given you.
