resession
yikes
savings dwendeling (spelling opps) very fast. put a halt to needless spending.
are vitamins needless? no gotta get those.
are thyroid meds needless? no gotta have those especailly after feeling good for a week with them.
shopping?
food - ok only what i need
clothes - NO got enough
gas - ok gotta get to work BUT driving where and when I need to thats a whole nother story. got to look at that.
repairs to home - if needed like burst pipes (god forbid) flooring already paid for so thats still a go. but no paint right now gotta wait til i get the savings boosted up a bit.
ok dokey looks like i got a handle on this right?
argggggg
gotta do the bills this week. get paid next week. thats ok i can hold off on them for a few days then mail the checks just as the payroll gets deposited.
i'm nervous but feel good that what little i have saved i'm going to guard like a pit bull at a junk yard.
all these sales are just yelling out my name but those stores are in the same boat as everyone else. i can do without that stuff.
how is everyone else coping? high gas prices, taxes, the necessities are driving me nuts.
Hey Connie are your cats particular about their litter? mine are they only will use a certain brand. its not the cheapest but its not the most expensive. but its one of those things that if i don't use tha tone they won't go in their box. they are indoor cats. so what pennys i'd save aren't worth the hassle.
they aren't as bad with food. agian not the cheapest but not the most expensive. the stuff i use helps to keep the hair balls down. i hate finding those with my feet first thing in the morning.....

Hey Pammy, At least you still have a job to drive too & pay those bills. I still have to
rely & live somewhere I don't want too, do to the unemployment status. I have put
many more app's out there this past 2 weeks, so I am hoping this will end this month.
Plan is Get a job #1
Move by myself #2 After a few paychecks.
I get food stamps from Az State
I get Insurance from Az State. So it is not possible to go back to Calif at this point.
Even with Az without a budget, Calif is soooo much worse off than we are.
Just in case you think the recession is over, Not even close in my eyes.
Those that say it is, haven't got a clue. I am one of many that don't even add to the percentage unemployed as I don't get unemployment. Nadda, no money, accept what
I get from friends & roommate that is driving me crazier by the day.
Coping- Not well, but, surviving barely.

I don't think my cats care that much about the litter because they use the backyard as much as they use the litter box. The dog cleans the kitty poop out of the backyard so I end up spending a fortune on doggie breath products. I care about the litter because I can't stand the smell of a dirty box and use Arm and Hammer They are really picky about their food though. They won't eat anything except Purina Cat Chow. Just plain old Purina Cat Chow. I felt guilty last month because I buy the dog lots of treats, but they don't like treats too well so I thought I'd splurge on some better food for them. I bought the biggest bag of Iams I could get for thirty bucks and they hated it. I have a co-worker who traps, nueters and feeds strays so a bunch of homeless kitties are getting good stuff for a while.
