Actually my area is still doing pretty good employment wise. But we are starting to see mini horror stories starting to pop up.. one poor guy has two kids, a mortgage, lost his job the beggining of Jan, and he''s still looking for a job, and is out of work.

I'm just glad we're fairly secure.. we did squander a lot of our credit and nestegg over the holiday season, be we are being more careful now JUST in case we get hit personally.

One thing we started doing, is instead of eati9ng out, spending a bit more on gorcoeries, and making fancier meals at home.

We can still have the goodies we like, but at a fraction of what we spent dining out.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
