I was poor growing up, but since I have graduated from college we have done all right financially, we have had down times but none have lasted more than a few months. When were you the worst off financially?

When my father left this world i was in most insecure financial and emotional shape. But the time passes and things gets into shape again.

We were the worst off financially in the year 2001. It was another time when the economy was doing very badly. Many people lost their jobs, and my husband and I were two of the victims. We decided to make a big change and moved to Texas. It was much cheaper to live here than in Illinois, where we lived at the time. My husband and I had a terrible time getting jobs. I couldn't even get a temp job! I decided to try to make money from home and my husband became a bus driver. We did the best we could, but it was a very tough time! It lasted about 10 months. After that, my husband was hired as a teacher. It was definitely not a lot of money, but we were able to survive on it.
