Question Business

HOW HAS THIS HORRID ECONOMY AFFECTED YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED NOW THAT UNEMPLOYMENT HAS REACHED 10.2%, THAT YOU MAY LOSE YOUR JOB AS WELL? WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR HOLIDAY SPENDING?

    Well, when I was picking my field of study in college I picked a recession-resistant field and I made sure I performed well enough so that I wouldn't get caught in whatever layoffs the company had.

    I have slipped into survivor mode. I am making my lunch for work every day and making dinner every night. I have been making my Christmas gifts from supplies I already have at home. I have been in the knitting mode so I am whippping out socks and scarves. I have done 2 sweaters, also. There is no money involved as this comes from materials I have on hand. I just finished a table runner from found fabric and decorative materials. I have halted paying for entertainment. I have friends over for homemade minestroni, etc. soup. We play games and have great conversations. It is time for us to entertain ourselves and not spend money for some paid entertainment to do it for us!

    It hasn't been too bad really I had to get a temporary second job on the weekends just to be sure we have enough for emergencies. My boyfriend and I are lucky enough to have good jobs unfortunately that can't be said for a lot of other people.

    This economy has not effected my family. All my immediate family members still have jobs and healthcare. Some are retired with good income. I don't spend a whole lot for Holiday. This is not saying that I don't feel for those who have lost jobs. I wish that everyone who wants job would get one. According to the economists, the economy has begun recovering and that unemployment will be the last to recover when the economy start rebounding. Things will get better. Right now people who have lost their job is going thru a storm. They will eventually come out of this storm. There is always sunshine after the rain. May God bless all with whatever they need while going thru the storm.

    There are not enough words to describe it !! This "administration" and Congress (all of them - minus a very few) have "ruined" this economy and this country !!

    God and our patritism and faith are our ONLY HOPE!!

    As with everyone, we've certainly felt the pain of higher costs, loss of property values, and slowdowns in business....and unfortunately, costs, taxes & unemployment are only going to climb higher!!!

I once recently had a new Corvette ZO6 and a new Escalade both I had to sell, now driving 90's cars. I once had $1.1 million in the bank and now have $256.00 in my checking to my name. It goes on. sell driving 90s cars 1 1 bank 256 00 checking

    Well, let's see. I'm losing my home (rental) as it has gone into foreclosure. Holiday spending is out since I will need to cover deposits. I was prequalified for a loan to purchase a home, but yesterday they changed a "rule" and now something that doesn't even show up on a person's credit rating (nothing bad, even) has disqualified me from being able to GET a loan from the lender I was dealing with (for 5 months).

    The economy is just the cherry on top of my life right now.

    I work more and make less. I am also very lucky to have a job. I have always been a hard worker and when lay off time came, even being the one with least seniority, I was not the one they laid off. The only sad part is less time with my daughter but we make the most of what we have and we are learning that things to do for free are fun :) That is the part I appreciate. This will be good for her and me!
    I feel for the people with no job. I pray for them all the time.
