its tough out there for many and will only get worse.
for how long, I don't know.

I believe a lot of folks are in dire circumstances for reasons
you outline. I also believe a lot of folks live well beyond
their means and have no idea of what it means to tighten
your belt. It's like a "it's there and I want it" mentality.

dark tough days ahead.
