YES!!!

About the same. I lost a lot when the market went down. I had a salary increase, but then took more than a dozen days without pay to help balance the budget and prevent layoffs at work. All in all, things are about even.
How about you?
by Paul the know it all on July 3rd, 2009
Not really... I got a lot of fussin to do. A year ago I was less mature (more blissfully ignorant). I now have to live with my grandmother (with Alzheimers). I have a part time job and cant get a full time for the same reason above... and I dont think I will have $900 for insurance when time comes to due date... So circumstantially... much worse off.
But look at it this way. I am closer to my family, I get to know my grandmother (in her own lil' forgetful way) and I dont have to pay rent.... so... i dont know... its a trade alright but I gotta wonder... is it better? Mabye.

Yes and no. Financially, my bills are being paid and I have a little left over but I am also working alot more.
by Plumsplum on July 3rd, 2009
Not financially. Husband's been laid off since March and he can't find any work. Not good but I'm better on other ways.
by Reillydog on July 3rd, 2009
No. I am returning to the workforce after a break for school and know that it will difficult to find a job and a suitable place to live.

Nope, not at all. Two years ago I was employed, today looking for work :(

Financially it is the pits since inflation kills the family budget.After the new government was elected I now need 50% extra funding to run my house.The cost of petrol went up by about Rs.4 a litre yesterday.Rice, wheat,cereals,condiments,simple things like potato and onion have gone through the roof in the last one month.
How much can you cut down?
And they declare 8 to 9% growth rate! Hahaha!!!+

In our day to day, we are definitely better off, but our long term investments have gone down. We bought a rental home for our son and his family, and the value has gone down since then, and we got a good loan on our house, which has also lost value.
However, we have more income and a new car than two years ago.

Two years ago, I had money to burn. This was not Bush's fault, this is not Obama's fault. This is entirely MY fault!

Do leaders push religion and the 'wanting money equals evil' link so they can take it from the gullible more easily?
