Our home, like most of the other homes in this city, is worth 60% less than we paid for it 4 years ago. 1 in 17 people is facing foreclosure in my city, and our state now has the highest unemployment rate in the nation.<br /><br />Just a quick update on our story--we had 9 months of shopping last year, and then I stopped shopping early last December (no buying of ANYTHING--only paying the mortgage and utilities). I was able to buy a little food at the end of February, and I&#39;ve been able to do a little since then, but $125 a month with a family of 8 and 2 in diapers doesn&#39;t get us much, so we&#39;ve been primarily living from our pantry and garden AGAIN since last December.<br /><br />It&#39;s a relief to have food to put on the table.The Prudent Homemakerhttp://www.theprudenthomemaker.comnoreply@blogger.com
