Our 401k's and IRA's took quite a hit. I almost threw up a couple of times this week. Retirement plans will probably have to be pushed back. My business is still booming, but I was the one who was planning to retire first. Oh, well.

Love the cost saving ideas. We did the no long distance on our land line a long time ago. Don't even subscribe to a long distance service on it.

Will definitely check this all out and post any additional ideas!!!

Hang in there ladies!!!! We can make it & we are here to help each other.

Marilyn, how is your area doing, i heard the south is doing bad with the economy?
Pa is getting hit pretty bad, around my area.
