Well I live in the detroit area and both my DH and I work in the automotive field. I learned along time ago that their is no "safe"' job and just be thankful that you still have one. Several people in our sub(new sub) have already lost their homes, one is one of DH's best friends that went to our wedding.
We dropped down to one car, taxes keep going up but our home value keeps going down, gas prices are crazy high and of course grocery shopping is much more expensive as well. But for now we are still making it each month and just hope that we are able to continue to, to see things turn around for the better.
