How is the economy affecting you and your family?
The financial future is on the minds of most Americans these days and as the gatekeeper of much of the household budget many moms are cutting back.
How are the recent economic events affecting your family? Is the government doing enough to fix the situation?
If you're tightening your belt, what is the first line-item in your family budget to be cut back?
Any creative ideas on saving a family's bottom line?

Things are very tight for my family as well. We definitely do a weekly menu planner mostly for dinners. With our hectic schedules it's nice to know what needs to be defrosted or thrown in the crock pot. We don't have the moeny to eat out anymore so I must be on top of things.
We have cut back dramatically on our driving. I have made doctors, hair appts, etc. much more local. Unfortunately we don't see family as much though, as they are out of town, but we all understand and talk on the phone often.
We have cut back on spending money on clothes. We only buy what is absolutely necessary and it must be on sale!
