I would have been homeless in 2006 if it wasn't for my sweet brother. When the house I was renting had to be condemed, I had no where to go or any money. To rent another place I would have needed at least three months rent plus a deposit. No way on disability, I could come up with that. Plus, I couldn't find a place that would let me keep my cats. It was the most frightening time of my life!!!

I've known we've been in a recession for a long time. The higer ups never think there is one until it starts to effect them. The rest of us, have been in one for a long time.

We are in a sinking ship. Our Social Security may go up 1 and a half % a year, if we are lucky. Food alone has gone up about 40%.
