As some of you know, I have two jobs... ooops, correction, I was working two jobs... It was the end of September and everyone was talking about the products they were going to promote for October.
Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them. Yup! The company I'm working part time for is cutting out hours for the regular employees. Since I'm only a temporary promoter for them I was not given a schedule this coming month.
Sigh, I really get to save a lot when I have two jobs.
The economy isn't at its best right now, and its affecting everyone. Less tourist, less sales, plus everything in the market has been going up. DAMN DAMN DAMN...
I wonder, is the decline of the economy affecting you at your side of the world?

Yes, very much, with the prices going up like crazy the grocery bill is crazy high. Yet salaries and wages haven't gone up at all or minimally. My husband has gotten something like one to two percent raises in the last six years. But health insurance and other stuff went up so much that his salary is actually negative. We are dipping into savings now, which is not a good thing.

woah, dipping into your savings. Definitely not a good sign. Thank GOd at these times I'm still single.
I know, salary doesn't budge up. It just remains the same, but like at my work, they're salary is about to go down because their cutting off the employees' hours. Sigh.
I think this economy affect is also a result of how disunited the world is. I hope everyone gets through this crisis before the year ends. If this goes on a little longer, who knows what else could happen.
