I agree with both Jason and Jeff....



If money is tight due to work constraints, now is NOT the time to be taking on another snake.



And time to be looking for a job / career in a "safer" sector.



Personally, I'm doing fine. My job is going steady. Not to say there won't be another round of "workforce reductions" and there is always the possibility of being "included" in one of those actions. My snake sales were strong last year, not a single 2008 BRB left unsold. I also believe people are holding off on the bigger purchases leaving some dollars available for smaller purchases.





>>okay so heres the deal, i have been wanting and looking to get Saphira a boyfriend for months now only problem is money is getting tight.... like real tight.... i am getting my tax return back here pretty soon plus a little extra from stimlus should help. but even after all that i dont know if its wise to use that money to buy a BRB.

>>

>>im still working so that is a plus, however my hours have been cut in half. i did apply for part time unemployment that should also help and i am constantly looking for an additional part time job.

>>

>>does anyone else feel the tighttining of the noose? i see that both jeff and dave dont have much left for 08s so it looks like people are still buying maybe? how is everyone else holding up? i myself am getting nervous lol
