This economy has really impacted my life. I never thought that I would say I have been through 3 jobs in the last 5 years. It is really sad when small businesses are forced into bankruptcy. My second job was with a bank and of course my position was lost when they had to downsize. Now, I am with the Federal Government and even so, I don't have a sense of job security.
In the midst of the economy crisis, I have found myself spending less and with the Christmas season approaching fairly quickly, my family has all decided that dinner and no gifts will be the approach we use. I think it is very disheartening to have a gift(less) Christmas but all in all, it is hard times.
I have also began car pooling to work as a crunch for the high gasoline prices. It seems funny though, that even amidst the horrible economy, we all stick together and try to help each other out as much as possible. If anyone knows about the Depression, families all moved in together to try and survive the economic crisis. I would certainly invite the whole family to stay with me in order to make it through the hard times. We have been lucky so far to maintain our job positions but you never know what the future may hold.
