How Is Your Economy?



How is your economy doing? Has this recession forced you to change anything in your life?

It has mine. For the first time, our family has gone to the "envelope" system promoted by Dave Ramsey. We've made a committment to get out and stay out of debt. We don't eat out as much. We group errands to save gas. We watch movies at home instead of going out. We pinch pennies and we hound the kids about turning off bedroom lights. Water doesn't run if you're not using it. We take shorter showers, if we take showers at all. (Just kidding.) Our way of life has changed for the better.

How has your life changed? Do you have any insight into financial conservatism that many people have adopted lately?
