I could be wrong and I pray that I am...but IMHO we are possibly even headed for the dreaded D-Word...the kind of situation my 85 yr old Mom lived thru!! Maybe it won't get quite that bad, but who knows....?
Mom and I live on a VERY slim budget. She has a modest Soc.Sec income and I am disabled, therefore I can't work full time at the kind of jobs that I have to try to do... Since I never was lucky enough to get a formal education, I have to settle for those blue-collar type of jobs. What I do is maintenance for the most part...pretty hard for someone disabled, but no other 'better' jobs are turning up these days. So...the wage I earn is pitifully small. We have been accustomed to living on a shoestring for many years. Only now, we are getting even more hard pressed till it's a major challenge to simply acquire the basic life necessities...!
Thanx for all of those links to where we can find online coupons. I didn't realize there were so many places to get them!!
