It hasn't really affected us much either. I was unemployed for 4 months while student teaching, so we are doing "better" than we were b/c I am now bringing in a paycheck. Also, my commute to my job is shorter than it was while I was student teaching, so I'm saving gas there. I started using coupons faithfully back in October and I have our weekly grocery bill down to about $20. So, the increase in food costs isn't really affecting us either.
I'm not liking the lower interest rates though. But that isn't really something that can be avoided.
