Wow, talk about the economy going downhill fast.

My husband was just forced to take a pay cut. TWENTY FIVE percent. I think maybe 10% I could have handled mentally but this is rather steep, isn't it?

I know it's easy to say (and true) that it's better than not having a job, and sure it is, but that's a huge cut.

Oh well, I will survive

but I don't have to be cheery about it, right?

Icky! And as an addition to this, we found out yesterday that it's been extended right through the 3rd quarter, too.. with still another week off unpaid. I'm really not liking where this is going fast.

How are the rest of you coping with everything getting so much worse in the last few months?
