Lost Decade for Family Income

The headlines all point to- cook at home, enjoy your own home, eat better and save $$$. The above headline was in the WSJ Sept. 17th. "The downturn that some have dubbed the "Great Recession" has trimmed the typical household's income significantly new Census data show, following years of stagnant wage growth that made the past decade the worst for American families in at least half a century... the recession has been particularly hard on young workers and young families... many have moved in with family... some Americans weathered the storm... by merging households." My husband and I had a great time last night working together like a team to put dinner on the table. He makes the best salads! Some of our church members got tired of eating out after church and have started bringing a sandwich and eating outside at our picnic pavillion. Great time to talk and laugh. Last Sunday we saw the prettiest fox- an extra treat. We can weather this storm by merging households too to help some nights with cooking duties. In talking with teachers, many inner city children order pizza for dinner. When asked if they order pizza every night... no, some nights I eat left overs. Eat at home for a better life!
