Making ends meet

It has to be a sign of the times as people are having to dig deep and begin to sell off some of their assets, but this is not for profit or to pay for a holiday of a life time, no this is simply in order for some families in the States to survive the current credit crisis.

The online sales listings on Craigslist have become the favourite spot for many people who are finding it hard to make ends meet, but at the same time it is also fast becoming the place where some people who are not finding the current situation difficult, can go and pick up a genuine bargain.

But it has to be so difficult to see an advert that reads “Please buy anything you can to help out.” This was placed by a teenager whose parent had just their job. This is a serious time for many people as the crunch begins to bite, there are people suffering from all walks of life.
