Lately I had thought we were lucky we had not been effected so much by the recession. Well I was wrong. My husband got laid off on Friday. Has the recession hit any other mylotters out there. What are you doing about it.

Sorry to hear about that. Hope your family has enough savings to live on. If possible, take a positive view. When a lot of people are unemployed, government will feel the stress to act fast, instead of wasting all the time playing politics, and talking nonsense.

Hi, I'm very sorry to hear about your husband's job :( So far we've been lucky and both my husband and I are still employed, but who knows? We've certainly been worrying about it and it's stressful! Right now, we are just keeping our budget as tight as we can and saving every last penny so that if one or both of us does lose our job, at least we'll have a small cushion. Good luck to you!

Thank you. His boss is saying that it should only be temp. until the company can get back on it's feet. But honestly this is a chance for my husband to find what he really wants to do. He is more stressed about it than I am. I know God will get us through he always has.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband. It is so scary that global financial crisis. YOu wouldn't know who will be the next company will close and got laid off.
I can say that i'm still lucky because as of now, I have a job, although my salary is so small, I know it still helps.
I hope this global financial crisis be over very soon.
