Economic Recovery??

Wow, I just found out this recession ended in June 2009. Who knew? I am sure not feeling like I have received a windfall or even a raise at work. Just today I noticed that things seem more expensive at the store too. I am wondering how the Americans (or anyone for that matter) that are out of work are taking this fabulous news? I do know that I am going to continue doing what I am doing with my frugality, and sock away little by little in my savings account. It sure seems hard sometimes to put anything in savings with that ever diminishing paycheck. There is some good news with the stock market, I guess things are improving there. I do sincerely hope that this recession has passed. I am certainly not changing my lifestyle (or lack of lifestyle) any time soon. Regardless of how much money I am making.... I am going to keep saving, and keep living as frugally as possible.

Simplify

sim·pli·fy   /ˈsɪmpləˌfaɪ/ Show Spelled[sim-pluh-fahy] Show IPA
–verb (used with object), -fied, -fy·ing.
to make less complex or complicated; make plainer or easier: to simplify a problem.

Simplify by definition, to make less complicated or easier. Simplify seems to be all the rage in the frugal world lately. I am trying to figure out how to simplify my life as a whole. After paying off my car a month and a 1/2 ago. My car spent basically a month in the mechanic shop. After replacing the transmission and 2 minor repairs.... I wiped out my savings account and put 1900.00 on my paid off Credit Card. I feel like I took one step forward and 10 steps back. It is going to be a haul before I can get that credit card paid off again. I thought six months ago that I would be simplifying my life by not having a car payment....but feels like I am back at square one. For me now, I will keep working on paying down my debt, I just don't feel as triumphant about the debt reduction as I did 2 months ago.
