It seems that the housing, gas, electric, etc is really squeezing the _ _ _ _
out of us. Why do we allow it. We seem to work just to pay bills what happened to leisure. Way too much stress just trying to make it. Does anyone have answers?

It's been tough for lower and middle class people, espcially in California. It's feeling like the early 1990's all over again.

The economy's fine. Unemployment is low. You can't do much about the cost of utilities except try to conserve. Housing is the only cost that's really out of whack and its the one I'm addressing by planning to move somewhere more reasonable.

Why are 1) not paying bills and 2) have you lost your job the only 2 options? Escape California is right about the economy and unemployment. We had a hard time at first when the aerospace industry took a dive, but with careful budgeting and a little creativity, we're still thriving in OC. The internet has made the world a very small place, and we have created a business where we can work at home and live comfortably, if not in luxury or surrounded by expensive toys.

"Orange County's economy — a standout in Southern California — is expected to accelerate through 2015, as the region's better-than-expected job growth drives the county's housing recovery, according to a UCLA report released Tuesday."
and
"The region's economic recovery, now kicking into high gear, is expected to cause the county's population to grow 146,000 by 2017, according to the UCLA forecast.

"Job growth brings people in," Nickelsburg said. It's "not true all over California, but Orange County is a place that's growing."

But folks aren't moving to the county for just any job. They're moving there for well-paying jobs in technology and healthcare."
