I am a single mom I have two sons ,one typical developing an the other a special needs teenage son. We have been poor an struggling for years..but it seems to be getting tighter an tighter an harder on us. I use to think we were poor ..but everything is tighter now then ever has been. we dont have tv turned on..(no cable or direct tv no tv shows at all. We never have had cell phones ..count ever afford to have those. now adays i see poeple saying their poor but yet the whip out a cell phone an text or talk..My mouth drops open an say wow if their poor then what as i ? now adays little kids have phones an tv an so much ..parent have gas to take them to an from places. my boys we try to plan things out before leaving the house to go anywhere so to try to save our gas. or i see if they can grab a ride with someone going our direction. I have good boys..i just wish they could have one nice pressent under the tree for each of them . i hate to event put up the tree this year knwoing i cant afford to get them anything this year. usualy i get them each one thing..but this year.. i jsut dont see how i will be able to . I been helping people clean their homes ect.. but thats going towards rent an utuilites..an gas for vehical. I hear things will get worst before better with econimy ..oh dear.. lets hold on to our seats i think its going to be a rough ride ,.,.eekkk.
