I just lost my job today due to company cutbacks and I am spinning from the crisis this has caused my life.
This is very serious.

Gas prices continue to rise in Washington
Gas prices continue to rise in Washington
Gas prices hover one tenth of a cent under five dollars per gallon at a gas station in Washington on April 19, 2011. Unrest in the Middle East and price speculation have steadily led to higher oil prices and consequently higher gas prices throughout the year so far. UPI/Roger L.

From Laguna Boulevard in Elk Grove to Sunrise Boulevard in Citrus Heights, job seekers lined up before dawn Tuesday and crowded McDonald's restaurants across the region late into the afternoon on the restaurant chain's national hiring day.

That mattered little to Jason Scott of Sacramento. He just needed one.

we are being careful and this seems to be working. Making small cut backs here and there. We now have a taste london card which quite a few restaurants are happy to accept on certain days of the week - for every meal you buy you get one free

I have switched my vacations from cruises to tent camping. I don't drive as often. I still eat out once or twice a week using groupon or other 50% off coupons. I shop more at yard sales and look for bargains at stores.
