We're hanging in there okay and trying to keep things in perspective. We've definitely changed some habits and have less expendable income. Time will tell if we can continue to save as much as we were before- we are attempting just that by cutting back some. We haven't bought much more than necessities for the past couple of months, and it's been weeks since we've had dinner out; that's the part that gets old for me, I love to dine out and hate cooking 7 nights a week. Not eating out, I'm losing weight- but I can't afford to lose all that much Oh well, from what I've heard, restaurant portions are getting smaller, so maybe eating out wouldn't help me maintain my weight so much anymore!

So yes, it's affecting us, but we have everything we NEED and hopefully a little extra here and there.
