What phrase or phrases do you use when your feeling financially challanged? Most of us know what its like when things can get tight when we are bewteen pay days. Many of us live paycheck to paycheck and have felt the financial pinch of todays economy. For those of you who haven't thats great count your blessings:-) I was just thinking of some of the phrases my parents would use when they were "Down To Their Last Dime" As they put it they also used both of the above phrases in my title discussion, when money was tight especially during the inflation days of the 70's of course today is much worse than it was back then,many people have been laid off their jobs or maybe there is an illness and they can no longer work, and have to rely on a fixed income todays job market isn't the greatest either right now and in my county 19,000 are unemployed is what I read in the local paper about a month ago not sure if its increased or decreased. Oh I almost forgot one of my favorite phrases is "Robbing Peter To Pay Paul" Ever heard of that one?
