I'm so scared that the economy is going to get worse before it gets better for all of us. It ruins my day and I get so upset when I read someone else I know has been effected.<BR/><BR/>frugalsuz I cant wait until we can start building an emergency fund also. I've learned it's so important and can be the difference between living from paycheck to paycheck and on the verge of loosing your home. I dont ever want to be in that situation.<BR/><BR/>central I hope it starts spreading around too! I keep praying for all of us. It just makes me worry when I hear the president elect say it is going to get worse before it gets better.<BR/><BR/>christy thanks! also thanks for commenting.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-3672625573028222952008-12-10T17:18:00.000-06:002008-12-10T17:18:00.000-06:00frugalchick thank you.

MY DIL and son have been struggling for 2 years now with job losses, a house in Florida that they can't sell, medical bills from my grandaughter's hosptalization, etc. My heart breaks for them and all of you who know what it is like to struggle day to day. This economy just keeps getting worse and worse. In all my years, I don't remember seeing things as bad as it is now and I am afraid it is going to get much worse. We have to watch our pennies very closely because of all of our stock market losses. <BR/><BR/>But I am so glad to see things looking up for you. It's a new beginning! Tell DH CONGRATULATIONS!<BR/><BR/>BTW, you should be very proud of yourself for doing all of the things that were necessary to cut costs. Keep up the good work!American Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091457436415496408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-56328765464325559252008-12-10T09:22:00.000-06:002008-12-10T09:22:00.000-06:00Hey Lisa,Congrats to you and your husband!!!!

My last company (family business) couldn't make payroll some months, putting us in financial peril too. It's hard work, standing all day but the people are nice and ALL are grateful just to be employed in this economy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-29904085363835586452008-12-10T07:25:00.000-06:002008-12-10T07:25:00.000-06:00Congrats to your husband on the new job!

When Allied waste started disolving smaller companies that they had bought up, the owner of T&C started his own company. So now, several years later my hubby will work with them again. There are several other previous "allied waste" employees that are working there also.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-66751106619048005472008-12-10T06:58:00.000-06:002008-12-10T06:58:00.000-06:00Melissa, as I was writing my post you were one of ...Melissa, as I was writing my post you were one of many who were on my mind. I've not posted the news on the grocery challenge because of all the people on there who are experiencing layoffs, hours cut or loss of long time employment. In fact, one gal on there who had been employed at her job for over 19 years just found herself unemployed less than 24 hours before hubby recevd his phone call. I felt it just wasnt right to post during her need of support. <BR/><BR/>You have done a wonderful job paying off so much debt after finding yourself unemployed also. Keep up the good work, and keep posting all those great deals you get!Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-20766972819680736132008-12-10T06:11:00.000-06:002008-12-10T06:11:00.000-06:00Congrats to your hubby (and you, too)!

As one of your readers who has been unemployed since April and seeing no end in sight I do appreciate you trying to be respectful and sympathetic to others who are not in the same place you may be. I too am a WIR member but the grocery challenge moves so fast, I think I posted on page 13 never got a chance to read all the first 13 pages and then couldn't keep up after that! lol! I did learn some like Frugalsuz's website and that was enough to get me hooked. I did pay off $30,000 worth of debt in 6 months with the help of my buddies on WIR and I am proud to say I am now in the savers club!! whooo hooo! <BR/><BR/>Anyway.. I feel where you have been (juggling finances/bills) and am glad to hear that at least someone is moving up!! lol! ;)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905054093214176999noreply@blogger.com
