we are really having a tough time and we are getting more and more behind on our bills by the day. between gas and food prices and the economy taking a nose dive we are not even keeping our heads above water anymore. i fear we will wind up being one of those that lose our home if things do not change and get better. what are doing to make ends meet?

i think you should look at other ways of transportation to help you save money. i have heard people in my neighborhood have been growing food in gardens in their backyards. they too were having hard times. its helping them save money when buying food at the stores. also one other thing u can do is buy items that are on sale and use coupons to cut down the price. you will save in the end.

as for other stuff you will have to make some cuts when it comes to the use of electricity and other bills.

if you have trouble doing it on your own, there are consolidation programs that will help you get to where you want to be.

hope things works, have a nice day!

With gas getting so high and prices going up, it is really getting scary. We are in the same situation. Things are getting out of hand. We will have no vacation, no extras, we sit at home all week. It takes $70 dollars for my husband to go to work and home a week. We do very little otherwise. I have to take my disabled son to the Dr. once a week and that is $25. We do alot of coupon clipping and sale item shopping. I don't know how we are going to stay above water if it keeps up. Good luck to you and feel for you.
