Right now cutting back is the only answer. The answer for the whole country of course would be to lower the interest rate say to about 3%. Now that would trigger an upturn for sure!

Other than cutting back and looking for extra ways to make a few $$$ I don't know. I have been going through the house selling all the stuff we don't want on craigslist. It's easier than having a yard sale. You can also advertise dog walking, house cleaining etc in your area.

The good thing is that it can't last forever. Normally when these things turn around there is an extreme turn around so it might not help a lot but keep in mind this too shall pass.
