...your title on your last post, totally meaning 'financial predicament' as your own, is completely (understandably) interpreted as the country's
...you're planning to make "breakfast" for dinner (which hot hubs hates)
...you look at your account online & give the warning, "Don't spend any money 'til payday"; but payday is over a week away
...suddenly garage sale'ing, flea market'ing, & consignment shopping is in style
...more people you know are UNemployed vs employed
...you wish they'd give foodstamp income requirements another look
...Martha Stewart is making wreaths out of bread twist ties
...you think, 'Wonder if anyone on eBay would bid on my old nursing bras?'
...you consider pimping out a lemonade stand & giving your kids 1/8th
...you get caught "counting" the money in the kids' piggy banks
...you & your hot hubby spend evenings in the garage trying to convert wet soggy pull ups into fuel
...you see absolutely nothing wrong with pop-starting a car
...you hope your kids think the mini dvd player in their dark room really is just as good as the $8.50 per ticket movie theater
...you're kinda glad your almost 5 yr old girl can still wear a 2T
...frugality is the new black

Just know that the economy is effecting everybody ... in some way, shape or form .. even Grammys and PaPas.
XOXOXOX
Great list! You are so right on!
I love the last statement. I'm just excited there are people out there that actually give you the steps to save without making me going crazy trying. Too bad I didn't find all of this months ago. I even am having the paper delivered on Sundays just for coupons. Talk about a cheap thrill! :)
Funny thing about this post is it's so true on so many levels. Here is my addition. You take money from savings to fill your shelves with non-parishables for fear that the prices are going to go through the roof anyway.
This is too funny-except that it's true. Good thing my hubby loves breakfast for dinner which we have weekly. Thanks for the e-mail. I'll be sending you a response soon. You are a blessing. :)
