It is sometimes a problem to keep yourself on track during these difficult times. Both my husband and I work and we have a good income but think of those who don't. I can't imagine trying to go to sleep at night not nowing if you can pay for the electric bill. Our neighbor ran out of fuel oil last year and to keep the house warm in the middle of winter, she turned the oven on opened it up. Then she couldn't pay her electric bill, but they couldn't turn the juice off on her. How can you keep yourself healthy when you can pay your bills. It is no wonder there is so much depression and sick people. What would become of you?!!!!

Yes indeed! You have to tread on a very very thin budget if you want to survive this period of recession. We should plan it out in such a way that we don't spend any thing on unwanted items. We have to cut corners where ever we can. What is saved thus is well earned these days.
