Well, we are now a prime example of Ripple effect. Tim just got word last night that in October all county employees have 2 choices: Take a 2.5% pay cut (which is basically losing one whole paycheck per year) or be laid off...
Obviously we're taking the pay cut- but in a 1 income household we live hand to mouth for the most part... things are getting rough.
I'm not here to whine about it and say 'Poor Me' but merely to point out that The Ripple Effect is in fact real. Within 1 week of a major auto company declaring bankruptcy, my husband- a county employee- received notice of an upcoming pay cut. Everything is interconnected in some way or another.
I guess we just pull our belts a little tighter and pray for the economy to recover... and be thankful Tim still has a job at all :) We'll get by, we always do- but it makes us revamp and change some plans for the future that we were contemplating.
Gotta roll with the punches :)
And since that was depressing- here is a cute picture of Kat:

I know just what you mean. It is so hard to have to cut out everything fun on a regular basis. I'm glad that Tim still has a job :)
