Making Do in a Bad Economy
Six months ago, I was working for a manufacturing company in Elkhart County, IN. The company closed the doors and suddenly, at age 53, I was unemployed. The first thing we did was downsize, selling our house and buying a less expensive home. We also moved within a mile of where my husband works instead of 27 miles away. This has saved us a substantial amount of money. I also immediately started looking for a new career and decided on real estate because I have always had a desire to do it and just never took the leap.
We don't use the credit card unless we absolutely have to, and we pay it off every month. I shop at discount department stores and purchase groceries there too. We only eat out on Friday, and only where we can eat for under $25 including the tip. I only buy clothes when they are on sale or at a used clothing store.
We eat breakfast and lunch at home, I even pre-make french toast and put it in the freezer because it is cheaper than buying premade items at the store. I make most things from scratch because it tastes better and is less expensive.
I think the most important thing is to lean on your friends and family, and stay positive by remembering that there is always someone worse off than you, count your blessings.
