I have heard a lot lately about the US economy and how bad it is right now and I can tell you all that the Canadian economy is not faring much better. I can remember last year at this time and the economy didn’t seem as messed up as it is today. All the necessities in life are on the rise, but the minimum wage is still quite low. I honestly don’t know how families of five and six people are making out. We doing good to buy groceries, pay for gas and keep the kids clothed and in school. To have a little extra left over for some family fun is normally just a pipe dream for us. But, I’m trying to make our home life a little better. I have made an appointment with two different insurance companies to get alife insurance quote and I plan on going with the cheapest. Hopefully I can save a little money this way and we can start putting a little fun back into our lives instead of just barely getting by.
