we are struggling and i am so sick of it. i look around me and i see wealth everywhere and just wonder how people obtain it? i do not need luxury and exhorbitance but i am sick of worrying about money and having to rob peter to pay paul. there is never any money for extras and we can just about keep our heads above water. how are you faring?

it's so terrible.it is a global economic crisis.i don't know when the wave will claim.but what we can do now is just to pay more effort to go through the hard time.but it is too difficult to tell what we should do in detail.just to take our greatest effort.

It is tough. I just got a new job that will nearly double my income. However, I will have to work a substantial amount of time. I suppose I'll keep the job just to ride out these tough times... or until the government finally cuts taxes!

We are more or less the same way. It seems like we just cant get a break. We are even staying with my inlaws right now to save money so we can try to buy a house but there has been no saving so far. First my husbands car breaks down, which we still havent fixed. Then my transmission goes on my car and it cost me over $2400. It just seems like nothing we do ever works out. It is just so frustrating. It seems like we work so hard to just break even. The only thing I can think to do to help us right now is maybe if I go above and beyond trying to promote my different sites. If I can make a little bit extra online it might help us at least. There is no overtime or even extra shifts to pick up in either of our jobs right now. GRR!!!

Just doing the best I can and dwindling away the last of the savings. Had hoped to get some extra shifts this month but have been told I need surgery so will have to be off for 2-4 weeks I guess I wont be using the fuel to get to work ....
