Recession, anyone?

I have been really struggling to keep my head above water ever since my roommate moved out. The bills keep coming in… dentist, car repair, mulch, etc. Gas is hovering around $4/gallon again, and everything else seems more and more expensive too. Ugh! I did decide to bundle my phone service with my cable provider, so that will save me about $40 a month. I need to figure out how to make more money and cut what I spend, so I will be devoting some time to figuring that out this weekend. I have tons of stuff I could be selling on eBay–collectibles and such–I need to get cracking! When is the economy going to start looking better??
