If the price increases have put you on the streets you should have been realistic.

Exactly!! Don't you just love those who feel like it's their "right" to not "pay their dues" like most others? Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, etc., they ALL paid their dues!! Even Donald Trump's kids work and understand money, how it works and how to make it work for you.
It just kills me that people assume they are entitled to the finer things in life without having to work their way up to it...no financial intelligence and no discipline.

Good for you. Hopefully this experience will result in a lesson about financial stability for you and your family...especially if you must live on one income.
