Does anyone else have the economy blues? Employment is at an all time low and many people are saving their pennies to make ends meet. I just had my insurance company send me our year to date total for insurance and over a year my family and I spent OVER $6,000 on health insurance! Holy Cannelloni! Many people (if their current financial situation applies) are going on Medicare Supplemental Plans or Medicaid to help cover the costs of insurance and I can see why! How do you feel about the current economic crisis? Do you think any of the presidential 'hopefuls' can change it? I sure hope so!
My family and I are definitely watching what we spend more closely. We are using more store coupons and going out to eat less often to help save money. We have also switched to a cheaper insurance plan but unfortunately our deductible is higher because of it. Ah. I wish insurance was more affordable!
Personally I have found that it is easier if you categorize your spending into NEEDS and WANTS. If you NEED milk than buy it. If you WANT a new sweater then wait or save up for it!

well I think most families are suffering from the economy at this time,I know that times are harder for us right now. growing a garden has been a big help for us,and just cutting back on our shopping.I hope a new president might be helpful,but don't have much faith in that either. Blessings Jane
Scariest phrase in the English language: "We're the Government and we're here to help". I'm a quiet Prepper. Folks like me are planting large veggie gardens, collecting survival gear and applying for dual citizenship in Canada and elsewhere. I have no faith in Obama, and I think it's too late even if someone else gets elected.
