Our wonderful Economy...

[MARUS0618]

TweetHello all, just wondering if anybody here has been affected at work by our wonderful booming economy? I myself have recently lost my position at work Those bastards just pulled me right in the office, and said flat out, "well because our economy is struggling, we are forced to rid you of your current postion" That is exactly what they said. But i have the opportunity to seek another position... but still this sucks major ass, ****it. SO.... anybody else here affected, or somebody at your place of employment affected by it?

TweetWe're all in the same boat. Last sprint my husband and I bought a new place, remodeled it and moved. We were both single, and we got married in December. We put our houses on the market in February of last year and neither one of them have sold. We are now making THREE house payments. He lived in a different state than me, so now my commute is twice as far. I'm pay three time more in gas. I've been trying for two year to find a new job closer to home, but no body is hiring. I can't quit because I still have the house to pay for.

Then there is my husband's business which is struggling. Last year was his best year ever. Over the holiday's it completely died, and it's been slow ever since. He's barely making enough to pay his business loans, and there's been nothing left to pay himself. Yes.... we are feeling the crunch too.

Tweetyep economy sucks for us all. i am in a sales job that is commision only. Nobody can afford anything so they don't buy and not only that I have to travel, so I am spending around $150 for gas a week. So I am going in the negative when I travel to make a sale and get there and nobody buys.

Tweetdefintely in a recession and it's freakin scary to us all. what hurts us even more is that when people lose their jobs, houses, can not pay bills etc. It all comes back to us all again sometime in making up for this fall. We can only do what we can to get by. Hopefully in times of need there is family and friends to assist. God know you can't rely on govmt.
