Is world crisis affecting your income?

I believe the high gas prices and food prices have hurt lots of people. My daughter, for instance, worked 35 miles from home. It was costing her over $100 a week just to drive back and forth to work. This didn't include any outside running around she had to do with 4 kids. She gave up a job she'd been on for 18 years to get closer to home and save on her gas consumption. I have no idea what will happen with online activities that pay you money. I guess we can just wait and watch.

At the moment, we are not affected by it other than in the gas and electric rising and petrol prices but we have managed to keep it under control so far. The only worry we have at the moment is the safety of my hubbys job, there have already been a few hundred redundancies made and so that is really scary.

I am on a low income. It is staying the same however the cost of everything else is going up. There have been increases in land rates and taxes, electricity, gas, fuel, clothing, shoes, appliances, groceries. If the price of everything goes up but my income stays the same, there is a lot to worry about.

Hi soleya! yes, our income has very much been affected by the crisis. We have been experiencing the economic downfall of our country years before and has been very evident especially this year. I guess, some big businesses and those whoa re employed in big companies are not really that much affected but people like us who have small business are the ones who are really hit. I just hope that somehow things will get good somehow and hopefully it will be soon. I can't rely on my internet income for it is really very small but somehow every little thing helps. Take care always..God Bless!

I don't know about internet earnings, but jobs are tough to find right now where I live. The economy is affecting me very much, eating into what little retirement funds I have and shrinking my dollar. I buy the bare minimum to get by and put away all the money that I can because I think it'll get worse before it gets better.

People on fixed incomes are being hurt. The utilities and insurance for cars and homes never go down - just up. Groceries and gas for car and home have went up. Your income stays relatively the same. It's hard to buy groceries when you have too many bills to pay. My husband retired, but had to go back to work. It's not fun when you get to retirement anymore. Even those that think they are safe are finding nothing is sure in this life anymore. My daughter is a single, working Mom with 4 children. And she's been hit very bad.

homebased work like in the internet is not a stable job. it can help but its not stable. yes, world economic crisis is affecting everyones financial. specially people who are in middle and lower income family.
