I was barely making it before the recession, but in 2007, I did have a job and car…
Like Florida Evans said, “The fall from the basement is much easier than the fall from the penthouse”….
What recession?
Im from the 9th ward of new orleans. I gets it in by any means.
P.s. The powerball is $71million, casinos are still open, and celebrities are still riding in $100k cars…
The struggle is real (and always has been) but the “recession” (in my mind) is just reality for people who’ve been irresponsible.
I survived katrina and G. W. Bush ill weather this “recession”. Thanks for asking though.
Doin pretty good considering I was laid off a month ago, I was doin about 150k a yr working in the oilfield and thank God I got enough money saved to hold me for a while…
I do like always do before the recession. I don’t live beyond my means and spend wisely.
just barely surviving this recession didn’t think it would be like this
