Well when i heard that we were in a recession, i didn’t really understand what that meant.My dad was telling my siblings and i that the months are going to be hard for a while, i didn’t really believe him at first just because he always used to say that, but he was right these past three months my dad has had some trouble getting food for our family. My dad isn’t worried about getting laid off because he works fir the government but its the food thing and when i need things i can’t really get it so thats what had effected me the most.I truly hope that the recession gets better and never comes back because no one should be sleeping in cars or losing their job. I really hope everything gets better for everyone that is having a hard time in the recession.

When i hear the question “What can we or what should we do to save money?”the first thing i hear is “oh well we have food stamps.But food stamps can’t help a lot or everyone that is in need for help.When you want to prepare i think you could get a garden and grow your own foods.All you would need to do is just find a good spot in your yard and get some seeds and plant them and in a few weeks or so you have a wonderful garden of fresh food.You could also budget. Thats what my dad does he takes money out of check and then he takes half and half, and it works really well.
