How has this bad economy affected you and your life? Also what are you doing to deal with it?

My wife and I have been fortunate enough to keep our jobs. However, the real (and inflated) fear of losing them combined with stagnant wage increases and the high cost of energy and goods inspired me to reflect on my financial situation. Realizing that something needed to change, we decided to start digging our way out of debt and living on a strict monthly budget.So far, we've paid off $17,000 in debt and have managed to increase our incomes as well.

Thank you, bad economy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
