I've always lived within my means, so I haven't changed a thing.

Working a job that entails long hours and the husband forced to go to Afganastan to work because as an Master Electrician he can't find any work on Delmarva or in Baltimore. The later is tragic! The trades are dying people. We'll see how happy everyone is when the work of unskilled imigrants given these jobs starts to show is inferiority.

Very Little. I have always lived very basic, and have been a saver so the economy has had little effect on me. Neither a borrower, nor lender be.

I cut back on everything; extra phone lines for kids, premium channels, eating out, weekly pizza delivery, lawn service, vacation, kid's camps, junk food stops, plan out my daily errands and trips, and I picked up some extra work. It is amazing the things we come to think of as essentials that really are just luxury items...

We are an old couple and have given up about evrything that costs . We are very tired and concerned about the state of this country. My husband is a veteran and I've never seen him cry until lately. He has seen people die for this country and doesn't understand how the president can act the way he does. We feel the end is close.
