The 2008 Financial Crisis Support Group

LOL we have no money to spend so yeah right about now things like groceries and gas are luxury items.

I second that

Same here!!! Nothing to spend.

don't even have empty pop bottles to return for the bottel deposits....can't afford to buy pop!

BUY THE JUNK that everyone is panic selling. The BOON TIMES ARE NOW.

I only have few money on my hand. I can't afford expensive thing now.

i have nothing to spend anymore im lucky to keep 5 bucks from my pay checks. im working nights when my husband is home to cut back on daycare now.

My two cousins have to stay with my aunt but they go to school and go back to home.

before "the crisis" I bought a scooter. I'm feeling pretty good about that purchase. I am not doing as much as I use too. Putting money away. putting food away (canning and dehydrating). Waiting and watching.

Eating out is not an option right now. And I try to plan when I go to the grocery store. If there is a sale on meat I try to buy and freeze plus make some of my own stuff instead of prepared food. I feel my life is a big inconvenience having to do it all but I do notice a savings. Coupons are critical for name brand products but I don't buy them much. Shop at bargain food shops. Reduced driving trips, are planned more. I already dropped cable tv and thinking about dropping my home phone line and getting a cell phone instead. If you pay for your water, make sure there are no leaky spigots or toilets. Recently fixed our leaky toilet because the bill hit 70 dollars instead of 40. Some of that waste builds up. And since I am the only one living here in the evening I don't flush the toilet each time I go pee. I am hoping that is going to help me also.
