My husband has been unemployed since July 2009 so things have been rough for us. He just got a job so will be nice to have $ and Health Insurance again.
Congratulations!!! So many are out of work, it's scary. Having been unemployed, or under-employed in the past, I think my stash building is a defense mechanism. That, and being a very organized pack rat! It's like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter.
My stash has been used alot, and decreased in size significantly as both my husband and I have been unemployeed since March 2009. I feel everyone's pain that is or has been in the same boat. We are both 55+ years old and are lucky to be mostly in good health, avoided the floods that hit alot in MA. Good luck and God Bless to all of you!!
PS, I am grateful to have my stash to work with. I look forward to the day I can start building it up again.
