Why, because you don't like to hear the truth? People who can afford the gas to drive to work are the "outliers," not people who can't. [ Reply | More

I do think that it's very worrisome (the increase of food and electricity). The food banks are even finding it hard to keep up with the demand when their supply is dwindling (sp?) [ Reply | More

not frightened. dh has a relatively secure job. i have mixed feelings aobut the economy. on the one hand, we are being squeezed by higher prices. (especially gas. i commute in a minivan. you can't imagine how i dread filling up!). otoh, it looks like buying a house might be within our reach now that prices are droppoing b/c of the poor economy.

Slightly nervous btu not overly so. DH works for a hedge fund that's not doing too well this year. Bonus will definitely be down, but it all evens out in the end. Gas prices don't really affect us, as we only drive on the weekends. [ Reply | More
