Good for you. Sounds like 2009 will be better because of what you've learned. I think many people have learned a lot and it will pay off for them. Take care and thanks for dropping by.

That's hard when the future of your home and where you will live is up in the air. Well, hope for the best for all of us in the coming year. Take care.

Yes, I know your hopes. I hope you're able to get a good job and the one you want. If not the one you want, then at least one where you can learn and earn until an opportunity comes up and that you get a great recommendation. Glad your husband was able to get back to work. That's got to be a big help. Take care and I'm sure you'll keep us posted. Take care.

I hope so for you, too. Our state is starting to hire people for the 2010 Census. I'm taking a test for it on Monday. They've told me to bring two forms of ID and to be prepared to fill out an I9 form. So if I pass, I will probably be hired on the spot. But I think it will be mostly part-time. So find out what you can before you try for something. You wouldn't want to loose your unemployment for part time unless it pays more than your unemployment. Check out my discussion that has different links to the Census sites. In the initial discussion there is a link to the practice test. But in my responses, I had other links, too, to the Government sites. Other than that, I don't have any leads for you right now. But check back with me once or twice a month. I was told there is a serious shortage of people who teach mobility training for blind people in my state and that a person can get grants to pay for all of it. So if there is a serious shortage of something, you may be able to get retrained and get employed. We have a bad shortage of respiratory therapists and nurses right now, too. Do you have anyone helping you find work? Do you qualify for retraining and if you do, what fields have really bad shortages that are real (they always say there is a teaching shortage, but it isn't real, not in my area, trust me). I hope the next 6 months bring you a wonderful job and many opportunities. Take care and good luck.

I hope the same for you. Good luck and best wishes for 2009. Take care and thanks for responding.

I think I already wrote this, but if you can find some neat books like Tightwad Gazettes 1, 2, and 3. It might help you to do more with less. Also stay tuned for ideas on mylot. There is an incredible community here. Take care and good luck in the future.

Terrific! Good going! Have you checked out the Tightwad Gazettes? 1, 2, and 3? Check them out at your local library and see if they have them. Terrific books. Happy New Year to you, too! Good luck in the future. May it be all that you hope it to be.

I am also tired of being broke so i will be saving and saving and saving a lot this year.I am reading self help books.Surfing the internet for tips and ideas how to save money,budget wisely and get out of debt.I am also looking for ways to earn extra money for me to be able to save more. Hopefully if i start the year right and stick to my plan,I will be achieving these goals. Happy New Year everyone!

To writersedge: "I'll check that out. Thank you. Happy Happy New Year!" To joie: "Try the two books of Francisco Colayco. They would be a great help, specially to us Filipinos. It's available in the National Bookstore (Wealth within your reach and Making your money work). Happy New Year!"

Teaching in a college can be very cool. Noticed you weren't around much, but I knew you were busy. Glad you had some time to drop by. Yes, people have been very sick lately, up here, too. First most people had sinus infections and then gastro-intestinal problems. My brother lost out on a lot of work because of it. Glad you're feeling better. I've been pushing myself to exercise this past week. This first week, only had that one call to sub and school was canceled. Take care and I hope all works out for both of us.

I hope that you will be able to go on unemployment wherever you live. Some places, when an employer closes down, offers retraining or at least help with job searches. Let us know how you do. Take care.

The way the economy is going, I hope for a miracle for all of us. Thanks and take care.

Welcome to mylot. Glad you were able to continue in your current job. Also hope that all you're doing works out for you next year. Good luck in 2009. Take care

Welcome to Mylot. One of the rules here is to try to write at least 4 sentences, phrases, questions, something when you respond. I know you can't see the future, but what do you hope for 2009?

True, very true. Being able to pay my bills and buy some food. I think those are realistic goals. Hope your goals are realized this year. Make sure you have a little emergency $ ahead before you move out. Thanks and take care.

Very true that financial and emotions often go hand in hand. Glad that you two will be fine. I think things will be better this year. Just have to figure out how to make it through the summer without subbing jobs then. Take care and thanks.

That's what's great about Mylot! Many people have many ideas, esp. the Frugal category, for stretching a dollar. See if your library has the books, Tightwad Gazettes 1, 2, and 3. Lots of ideas on how to stretch things there. Yes, I have relatives on disability. Give you a little and take away somewhere else, meanwhile, prices of everything go up. When I was a kid. My friend's parents were disabled. But he would go fishing and they had fish. The kids tended garden and they had veggies. They traded food they had for food they didn't have. So the food stamps actually made it to the end of the month for them. Getting so food stamps don't make it for very many people. Some places give extra food stamps for the Farmers' Market in the summer without taking any away. So far, our area does that for the Elderly and women on WIC only. They're adding to the fuel oil assistance this year for many people. So that's a help (not sure if they take it away somewhere else). Lots of people are finding ways to garden indoors so they can have at least something to eat. More people are donating seeds because it's a lot easier to donate seeds than food. People get more food out of a seed that becomes a plant, too. I forage wild food which helps, too. So I hope that you find more ways to stretch a dollar this year and that things go better for both of you. Take care.

I hope this all works out for you. Sounds like it will be a year of change for you. I wish you good changes. Take care and thanks for responding.

I wish you luck and I hope it works out and comes together for you. It was a long time coming for me, too. Things had been rough since FEB. 2007. So I'm due for a turn around.

Happy New Year and may all your college days be good ones. Take care and thanks for responding.
