Luckily I make enough money at this point that subtle changes don't hurt as bad.
Can't say I was real happy to see the extra amount they're taking out of my check as of January 1 though. |

At least the job market for my chosen profession seems to be opening up a little. Had several interviews last week. Have 2nd/3rd interviews with a couple of those and some new interviews this week. Keeping my fingers crossed, otherwise going to have to sell the house in a couple of months. |

Moving into a new place with the Fiancee is definitely more expensive, especially when there are zero jobs in the local area for her. I have also felt the food price creep eating into my savings capability.

Income wise we are doing better than ever, I am fortunate to be in an industry that is fairly recession proof, my wife's income has been hit, but hers is mostly for discretionary spending. However prices everywhere have gone up so our purchasing power is decreasing. We don't live paycheck to paycheck, but savings is not getting built like it should be, and home ownership is looking slim.
This is without any gov't assistance. Posted via Mobile Device |

I own a liquor store and times are pretty tough for most regular people during this "great recession". Crossing my fingers for superbowl week!

Me, I'm doing pretty well, but it hasn't kept up with the capital outlay or the ****ing stress I'm under. That has increased much more than my net income. My wife's job (catholic school) dumped their insurance so that's a hefty sum every month. Taxes are an ever looming problem of which I shouldn't be too bad but I'm epic boned next year. And really most of my business improvement is contingent on a couple decisions I made with some prompting from my dad. I made some decent decisions outside of that, but most of the bump is from his prompting. If I'd have stayed the same as last year I'd be crying like a bitch. But like most business owners, I see the missed opportunities and the things I could have done better. |

2% less pay due to FICA + company not doing any merit increases this year (despite the stock being at an all-time high) = major suckage
Thankfully, DaKCMan AP is still an Awesome baller.

Getting by, but it has been increasingly tough since Motorola went to China in 2000.
Traveling expenses between and cost of maintaining two houses is more than I figured. Fortunately we have Yorkies, so they don't eat that much. |
