Is the recession effecting?
WOW…it’s good to see people that haven’t been affected for a change. Yes, it has affected me and my livelihood dearly. My husband works for Lexus, and the cutbacks have been enormous. They stopped contributing to 40lK 6 months ago, everyone has taken a 5-7% pay cut, no matter what position, and insurance premiums are going up…again! We’ve been blessed with our first baby boy, and already bringing him into this world caused our insurance to go from $550/mth, to $755/mth…and it’s going up again! That doesn’t include dental, vision, disability, etc. It’s crazy how much comes off the gross…it equates to another month’s worth salary! Since I’ve come back to work from maternity leave, my company has undergone a drastic loss of clientele, that has snowballed into layoffs and my personal full time employment has led to part time. We have truly been affected by this poisoning recession, as well as our family, friends, and community. We live in VA, USA. I’m amazed to hear anyone say the
It’s effecting us horribly! :o( I’m 17 weeks pregnant (which is brilliant!) but my husband has been made redundant because of the recesiion and my job is only min wage which will be getting cut as soon as I start maternity leave. We are now in debt up to our eyeballs because my wage simply does not cover all we need and I am becoming very ill as a result of all the stress our financial worries are causing and also due to the fact that we can’t really afford to buy meat anymore so I’m not getting the nutrients I need during pregnancy. Also terrifeid we are going to have to leave our home bacuse the payments on it are far too high…really worried about theworld my baby is going to be born into! Nice to hear that somebody hasn’t been so badly affected by it!
