History is changing. It is harder to raise a family with the debts of our society.The poverty levels are rising. The stock market is affected. We are making life decisions at the gas pump! Food or gas, we contemplate the outcome! Good paying jobs are getting harder to find. My husband has been unemployed for a year now! What are we going to do! This is what we are doing: *Saving every dime we can! We are not spending money of any kind except on the needs we need to survive! *Not eating out, or spending money! We have not eat out, or rented movies in so long that I forgot what it was like to sit and watch a movie. We buy hand me down clothing for our children We started a garden last summer, but now that it is getting cold we are suffering! We are going to wood heat for the winter! We are doing everything to keep our money out of the banks, in fear of a major depression! What are your views? What are your advices on how to battle this major economical crisis! Give some tips to us who are on poverty levels! If your not in poverty, what changes (if any) have you made?

Its is cutting back and no wasting. If we dont need it , i is no longer a prority. Using coupons, and shopping wisely. Buying less junk food. I make bread in my bread machine.Cook at home, and save on everything. Order freebies online, and join survey sites that pay, make money online when you can.Dont buy exspensive cleaning supplies, use natural, lemon, vinegar, and baking soda.Cut off lights when you are not using them and all the little things will add up. Happy My lotting!
