[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our income has dropped significantly (market based) and our expenses have increased. We’ve had to dig into savings. Our biggest expenses are fixed (mortgage) or just high across the board (gas, health insurance). We are dropping kid activities, which I hate to do but that’s our situation. I’ve cut back on groceries and our fridge is generally emptier than before - I rely on nutritious healthy homecooked meals rather than a fridge full of various options. Many around us seem to be doing quite well. My children’s peers travel abroad over holidays, get cars when 16, and throw big parties. We are in an affluent, although not overly affluent area. Clearly, there are some doing very well in this economy and others who have been hit hard. [/quote] What does "market based" mean? Which market?[/quote]
