Well we've always had to scrimp and watch every dime.
Every time hubby gets a real good raise, gas prices and grocery prices go up. So we never get ahead.

So the only thing differently i'm doing is one day a week trips into town to do everything at once. But I don't really notice any big difference yet at all. Guess I'm used to being poor so I can't miss what I never had

If things get significantly worse though, i dont' know what we'll do. I've been offered my old full time job back at a great income but figuring in gas, and huge cost of day care, etc I won't be making more than I already make working my two businesses at home. So I've turned it down so far.
