I am better, just not consistently better. And usually employers want employees to show up consistently, ya think? <br /><br />And then there is finding a job in this economy. Oh my...<br /><br />So...we find ways to do things cheaper, just like the rest of the nation. And we're seriously considering moving back up to Washington. Much cheaper up there (especially on the east side)and no state tax. It surprised me how large of a chunk CA state tax takes out of our income.

My journey on this ody...Selena, You are not alone! My journey on this odyssey began in August of 2004, similarly two incomes no kids... I now shop for $1 clothing at thrift stores when I can manage to shop and we try to manage our money as close to the vest as possible. We have no choices... medical bills cost a lot as well as everything from our life before that we are currently stuck with at the moment. <br /><br />Holding on by a thread! Saving where we can! But I do feel a great sense of accomplishment. As this journey is not easy.Pink Dobermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428024980866044103noreply@blogger.com
