Because of economical turndown we are facing lot of problems.Many people are finding it difficult to adjust. Disposable income is shrinking by the day and, in many homes across this land, depression is settling in as an unwelcome guest. How are you solving these problems.

i don't think u can probably save any money but u can cut back on what u spend & i guess that's a savings. i think everyone is probably having to cut corners. they probably needed to do this anyway.

We can still save money even during this bad economic situation. Any amount set aside is better then none. Well I usually save around 10% of my total take for the day.

That is so true about the economy being in a slump. Some things might have gotten better but there seems to still be a problem at every turn. Groceries are expensive and also the other expenses like keeping a roof over your head. Disposable income is not even an option for my family. It just really isn't there. We just try to stretch the money and make the best of it.

I save money by using coupons, and keeping my air conditioner off until everyone is ready for bed. We don't eat out as much as we used to. Now we eat out maybe once a month or not at all. I only go shopping when i can make one trip and get everything i need.
