storytelling

The people of today are begining to really feel the meltdown of the economic situation. They are cutting back on buying things they want and just buying the things they need to get by. People are losing their homes and having to rent while going through this time in history. Our family is cutting back on everything. From water to going to place where we normally go. Times are tough, but they cant last forever. People are resiliant. A few of the things we have changed is the amount of water we use, to the trips to town to buy food. We make a trip or two into town to purchase food but other than that it is to home and work and the doctors so we dont miss work. So we have quit basicly all activities that are not nessacary. Its quite depressing, when you get done paying the things you have to have and you have very little to spend on things you want or short of need like new boots.
