I know my dad lost his job.. luckily he found another that paid nearly 150% more.
other than that..... it hasn't affected me. How has the economy affected you? |

this was really long. but i had to edit it. it was like 3 paragraphs long! i'll try to shorten it.
i moved to orlando with my mom. couldnt find a job in orlando after 2 months, neither could my mom (who got laid off of her last job) we moved back here to niceville (which is 6hrs away btw) and got my old job back working at a pizza place making 7.65. i love that job but the pay sux. i work about 5-7 days a week. i live at home with my parents still but thats because i pay my bills and then i help them pay bills as well. i have a camaro so gas prices affect me a lot. since no one is hiring my mom cant find a job and is on unemployment right now, she's applied for over 150 jobs and still nothing. i try to help out as much as i can. i do a little bit of photography around here on the side but as of right now there is no profit from it. our house is being foreclosed on and my mom wont try the "produce the note" strategy (if you or someone you know is going through foreclosure have them research that btw.) so we're trying to find another place to live and its not going very well. my dad is an alcoholic so he drinks a lot of our money, and thats not good when the other spouse is out of work. ummm other than that it doesnt affect us much. lol. |
