Times are hard in the US the economy sucks. It is real sad that it would be a big goal for me to acheive just meeting the poverty line. This is crazy. I would have to work 3 jobs just to be considered poor!!!

We are just over the limit. It is sad. With the economy the way it is, alot of people are going to fall in that catagory.

We are below the poverty line now that hubby lost his job- 3 $17,600 $22,000 $20,240 . We still work but it's part time with jobs we've had for several years now.
