Lots of interesting new things over at HM lately... check em out!
It's frightening to be poor. It's much more frightening when you have a family with five young children. My husband's mental illness had exacerbated into schizophrenia. He'd applied for Social Security Disability, which was then -- as now -- slow at being approved. We had to accept welfare from the New York City Department of Social Services.
Things are looking pretty dire in the economy. It seems like women caught on to what this might mean for us earlier than men did....
It's the eradication of the tax break to companies that offer group plans that sets off all my alarms bells, because that is a personal threat to me and mine. McCain might as well walk into my living room and say "Hey I'm taking your health insurance away."
On the news last night, following the $700 billion dollar bailout talk, it was mentioned that 25% of Americans are struggling to pay their bills every month. Let me raise my hand and say hello, I am one of those Americans, and my actual debt is a miniscule fraction of this bailout.... but it is a real, day to day, emotionally and psychologically draining financial struggle. share: facebook|stumbleupon|twitter
