Is it a matter of cutting back on the food budget? Is it more than just clipping coupons?
Are you now shopping around for the best price at the pump?
Holding back on the decision to purchase a big ticket item?
Have you met with your spouse, your parents, your children and discussed the economic impact on your most important “business,” your family?
For some it’s a matter of little moves, a cutback in a child’s allowance, less money spent for entertainment, perhaps a decision to buy groceries in bulk and clothing at a discount.
However, for others, it’s about getting the mortgage paid, the tuition taken care of and even the lights and heat paid for.
