if you were to lose 40-70 a paycheck, how serious would that affect you?

Effective January 1st, if nothing is done to fix it..we reach our fiscal cliff and taxes on everyone goes up..tax credits for 2013 will be smaller and becuae of changes to the payroll tax and a raise in social security payments, paychecks will be smaller by about 40-70 range.

 honestly, not much..40-70 a week will not make us or break us.

Well be in trouble right now... Things are tight, $40 could be the difference of me having enough gas for 1-1.5 weeks of doctors appointments or dh getting to and from work for a week... Just an example since it was the easiest one lol.

Hopefully they fix it. We can't afford to lose anything right now.

No one likes to lose more money, but that amount won't hurt us.
