This is going to get worse before it gets better. It is so sad that the hard working middle class is having to tighten their belts so much. Unemployment has gone up to the point it was around 9/11. My SIL is not working, although he is in the electrician's union so he still gets his benefits. I hope he and his new partner get some work after they finish my house. The trouble is, people are not using contractors right now. If you can't afford heat, you're not rebuilding the porch!
I have lost so much in the market this year, and I don't even have that much in my annuity. I get a pension, health insurance and social security in a few months though, so I'll be okay.
These are hard times. I hate that some of you are feeling the impact so hard.
