feeling the pinch

ouch the pinch! Ours began when our neighbors house caught fire and spread to our home. Although we have insurance, we made a small equity loan (we had been mortgage free for a few years) to update the kitchen, baths and the amount given for flooring was just not enough. Two months after the fire my husband's construction laborers job slowed to a standstill (probably due to interest rates). There is a job in the works to begin soon and thanks to our saving practices we are making it with the new payment but we'd much rather be saving. My husband will be retiring in 5 years and we cannot complain, we are truly blessed and should be back in our home within a few week (it's been six months so far).

financial pinch

ouch! I belive the proverbial pinch is all of the above, and much more. FEAR: the fear of not haveing enouph of what you need or want when the time is there. Becouse of this fear the gas, which is very high is loming over our heads. What will I do when I can,t afford to buy gas to get to work or take the kids to school. The fear of just not being able to have, or do. IF, that fear would only work to our advantage. It seems to for some. They change the way they spent or see the glass. Half full or half empty. Some start looking for new ways to acheve more effecie (energy). Wind, Sun, even corn or wood bark fules in sted of Patrolyam gas.Please put the fear of the pinch out of this eqaision. It is hear. Think, try new ways, listen to others that have been watching this comming for years. Gloution.... Is a costly way to live. Above all remember who and what you are,(children of God). Don't be afraid to ask for help in the situation you are in. When you ask, listen pay attention, you will always get an answer. put the fear aside and pay attention. look or help others look for a better way. Love preace and pray sandy...
