Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh my gosh...don't talk about money right now....gesh harsh reality hard life...feel like little tiny Tim at the moment. sweatdrop

I find that mining my trouser pockets for lint that I use to continuously weave a blanket large enough to cover the Earth passes the time nicely. Now you know the truth behind both nighttime and global warming.

Seriously, though, that sucks.

Just read about the Yahoo layoffs...that's pretty serious. 10% of their workforce!

I'm going to have to live pretty frugally until my next paycheck...getting low. sad Ironic thing is that I need to buy clothes for work....

Funny you should mention selling things - I was reading an article on "how to cope" during the recession - and it listed selling things on ebay. Personally, it's better NOT to sell things unless you're really, really desperate. It's times like this when you'll get the worst possible price.
Still, if it's the differences between paying the bills and not...then I guess there's no other solution.

Today's newspaper said that Australia is "over" the worst.
*laughs, then starts to cry*
Yeah, right. Wait until China and India start turning away our resources (ie in 12 months time). I think that we (as a country) haven't quite hit bottom of this down turn.

I filled up my gas tank with a mere 20 dollars the other day! Is this the twilight zone?!

yes, it´s really strange at the last days.
our gas prizes fell down,too. another strange thing happened with our milk we had a big milk- crisis in germany because the farmers wahted more money for their work. so the prizes for milk-products growed. it was at this summer, my family loves milk so it hit us very hard that we had to pay nearly the double for butter and over 30 Cents more for milk.
yesterday i went out buying some food and the milk prize was at the old prize back again ! i bought as much milk as i could carry.
