Not as bad as Detroit,MI. and surrounding areas. If you have a job consider yourself fortunate, if your home is in foreclosure buy extra lean ground beef just for a treat, if you have relatives out of state make sure they know you can't afford to make the move and live with them - they will be relieved. Oh and if you can still afford to drive a vehicle that runs efficently on 5 gallons of gas a week you might just make it! After all as I look at it if you don't have a job you don't need to leave the house every day and groceries are only purchased when the ads say "buy one get one free" or you have coupons for items you might actually purchase. Goodwill clothes look like something you just donated last week (which you did) and you buy something even less stylish than what you gave away. What happened to shopping at JC Penneys & Kohl's? Oh yeah now I remember- no credit cards.
