Hello Ladies,

With this country in a recession and all of the layoffs happening each month, is anyone afraid for their or their husbands jobs? It doesn't seem like anyone is safe. What kid of precautions are you taking? Unfortunately so many of us are upside down in our homes so we can't even refinance or sell if we needed to.

Scary, scary times!

As of right now I dont think DH's job is in jeopardy. But if things stay bad for a long time it certainly could. I'm preparing the the worst and hoping for the best at this point. Paying down debt and not taking on anything new, trimming expenses wherever possible and looking for places to trim further if/when the time comes that its needed.

Because Jeff works for the government, his job is pretty safe.
