Whiney Wednesday!

I will follow my sister on this whiney Wednesday! BILLS, BILLS, BILLS! We will never be able to escape them. Is it just us or does everyone have this problem, living pay check to pay check? It is so tough. My sister Janelle blogs too, and she is having money problems, I am having money problems, and I know there are a lot more people out there (including Delphi) having money problems! Are we heading for a recession? Wow, that is a scary word. Times are tough, and the bills are just getting bigger and bigger. My husband and I only have one credit card, that is not our bill problem. Our problem is the cost of things going up. Taxes go up, mortgage goes up, gas, electic, heating gas (going up by $70 per month), and so many other things, including paying more in stamps and benefits at work.....AHHHHHHHHHHH where does it end!!! Please tell me there are others out there!!!!! My husband and I went to the grocery store, and what we bought in groceries, we could have gone out to eat and almost pay the same amount (tip would make it more expensive to eat out). What is going on?!!!

Oh yeah! Somebody has to do something! They have already predicted that shopping will be down 40% this holiday season. So that means less jobs for seasonal people, more businesses will go out of business, and people who loose businesses may loose their homes too! Ouch, this is a horrible dark funnel that no one seems to be able to climb out of. The people who are blue collar suffer the most and yet we are hit the hardest with higher costs of everything. Something has to change. The trend of major companies filing for bankrupcy is growing, and that only makes the job market harder for those looking for a job. Things are gonna get worse.

Tracy,

We are going through the same situation. Little by little everyhting is costing more. Gas alone is killing us. And we too live pay check to pay check. Extra money at the end of the month! Whats that? I've never had the joy of experiencing that. I don't know what elese we can do.'
