Instead of living paycheck to paycheck, many people are just living day to day, trying to get by on a lot less than they ever thought would be necessary.

In contrast to politicians claims that the economy is still strong and getting stronger, many are individually affected by circumstances that devastate their income and aggravate their expenses.

 

They are fearful that the economic future is not going to get better in time to help.

With the paycheck less certain and payday loans tapped out, credit is getting harder to find let alone afford. And how can it be paid back if expenses rise as fast as the are, eating away at any budget.

With the US currency in trading free fall, the dollar does not go as far as it used to. Financial planning is out the window, and payday loans don’t last before the next paycheck.

Foreclosures and job lay offs have left many families in dire straights, homeless, on unemployment, and facing skipped meals and charity.

How did the wealthiest country in the world get to this point? Have we been living on borrowed money and borrowed time for too long?

Economic ignorance does not make the consequences less real. People are hurting and that is for real.
