My wife and I were doing fine, but here parents both got laid of from there jobs last summer, and wound up losing their home and moving in with us. They weren't able to find jobs, so we supported them for roughly eight months. Togetehr we make good money for two people, but not enough to support four people, so our savings is gone and our credit is maxxed. Her parents did find jobs and their own place to live, but it is going to take us awhile to recover from having to support them for so long. I did get laid off in that time period, but was only out of work for a week or two. I refuse to think about what would happen if one of us got laid off now, it'd be devastating, but we do both work for stable companies and have key positions, so hopefully that is not going to happen. I hope everyone is able to get thorugh this time. Kyle I don't live far form you, and I know here in Pittsburgh it is impossible to find a job for the most part, unless it is in the medical field or you get lucky. Took my in-laws eight months to find jobs, and they only found them at KMart.
