How is the economy affecting you?

We don't overspend, don't take vacations, I drive a 25 yr old jeep, we are extremely frugal so that my wife doesn't have to work & can be home for my family. Things have gotten so bad financially, she is looking for a job for the first time in 7 yrs. As-a-matter-of-fact, I noticed she was losing weight. Come to find out, she cut back on food so we wouldn't notice meals getting smaller. Praying for a big ol' buck next month.
