Oh no hun, you are not alone. I have asked myself over and over what these poor people are doing that have to drive 20 min or so to work and make under 10 bucks. I mean how do you afford to live now on that? I concluded they must be doing without.

I know we are cutting back on extras. Less eating out, movies, shopping. Now that money is going into saving or paying debt off. I just dont know how bad it will get before it gets worse, so I want to be prepared.
