It's getting so frustrating and scary ......Everything is going up except for the paychecks .....

Unfortunately many of us are being affected by all that is occurring in our economy. This is not a problem of affecting only the "poor", this is hitting the middle income people just as well......I just saw the news and the utilities are being shutoff for a lot of people, by the time they pay for gas for the car, the mortgage payment and food, nothing is left to pay a $1000 gas or electric bill......

New York has 230,000 people with their utilities shut off and Michigan has about 18,000 people with theirs shut off.....What a shame....this is going to get a whole lot worse as it gets colder. There's going to be some tragedies occurring out of this with people trying to keep warm......

It must be nice for the ones that haven't had to cut back or change their life style to make ends meet unfortunately many of us are affected by this. A person sure loses their sense of security when they have to worry so much on how they are just going to survive with the bare minimum. It sure takes away a persons peace of mind.......
